4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
500ml bottle. Midenstens haltbar bis: 6.7.11.
It pours a perfect color for a dunkel with a perfect head and perfect lacing. Enough said.
The smell is interesting. It is far more robust than the average dunkel. It evokes thoughts of porters. It is roasty with a giant surge of cocoa and some brown sugar. There is also a nie bit of earthy hops.
The flavor is also very porter-like, but with a helles lager flair, AND I LOVE IT. Normally I don’t go for the roastier dunkels but this one is spot on. It is chocolaty to the max with a slight roastiness and not too much sweetness.
It is a winner.

(bottle) Clear, mahogany colour with a light-beige, medium-sized foamy head. Moderately sweet and toasted malty aroma with a touch of sugar beet and berry-fruity notes. Initially sweet malty and moderately toasted taste with notes of berries; light to medium bodied with a soft carbonation; medium-dry, slightly toasted finish with shy hops at the very end. Just okay, easy going (10.X.08).
