Draft. Light aroma of roasted malt. Similar flavor. Pleasant and very drinkable, but not much flavor. Good with food.

Bottle: Transparent brown pour with a modest beige head. Aroma is malty and caramel sweet. Taste is more matly, light roast, caramel, earth tones, hints of grain, and a tiny bit of chocolate. Medium bodied and has a nice creamy feel. Not bad at all.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Bottle BBE 05/2007; Thanks Jay!) Malty and slightly chocolate aroma with a hint of caramel. Dark red brown colour and average size, light brown, more or less fully diminishing head with a hint of lacing. Sweet, malty, slightly roasted, slightly caramel and slightly chocolate flavour. Softly carbonated, medium bodied and dry palate. Gösser Stiftsbräu is a good dunkel! 28/01/07
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle.
Pours a solid dark chestnut brown; thin white head recedes to a ring that leaves strings of lace on the sides of the glass.Aroma is dry lightly toasted grain, modest but spicy hops, licorice, and a whiff of smooth alcohol that suggests a higher ABV than its stated 4.5%. Flavor starts out a bit weak and watery, but then the intensity quickly builds: toasty grains, crisp moderate hop bitterness, herbal, lightly spicy, and a solid but not intrusive sweet malt backbone. Medium-full mouthfeel with a smooth, almost creamy palate. A small burst of toasted-grain dryness accomanies the swallow as it goes down. This here is a pretty sharp dunkel, especialy from a no-frills brewery.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured into the tall cylindrical thick-walled heavy Gosser glass, it was a very clear brown with a good 1.5" head that stuck around. Smelled pretty good, somewhat chocolatey.
Nice smooth mellow sweet malt, with chocolate and toffee and some roasted grains. Hops were noticeable and nicely balanced the sweetness. Lots of body, expecting much less I was pleasantly surprised.
