Draft at the Dutch with some chili for lunch snack. Oak is just a touch near the finish on this nice dark beer. With its moderate body the malt was still a bit grainy and some caramelishness came thru. A stable brew that is solid in its own right but does not stand out of the crowd.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught from Waterfront-Manhattan. Poured quite dark for a dunkel with substantial head, lots of strong oaky and vanilla notes. Quite unusual for a dunkel but in a good way.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pours copper with fizzy tan head. Aroma is unflattering. Smells like Bud Light that has been left in the sun. It’s bitter with earthy notes. Not like any dunkel I’ve ever had. My suggestion is to pass on this one.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bomber. Pours clear, dark orange and red, with a medium light tan head. Aromas of caramel malt, apple, and very slight spice. Flavor is sweet malt, caramel, slight breadiness, light vanilla, and berry. The finish has mild toasted oak and slightly bitter grass. Low to medium carbonation, medium body, and smooth. Decent, but not great.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(22 oz. bottle (best by 03/15/11) from Bootleggers) Pours clear, chestnut-amber brown. Four fingers of tan head. Aroma of chocolate, vanilla and caramel. Mouthfeel light-medium heft, fairly smooth. Flavor of chocolate and some caramel, slight hints of wood (possibly) but really not much sign of oak. Just kind of an average dunkel.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours a clear orange brown with a medium sized beige to tan head. Light wood notes, caramel and malt. Sweet caramel and malt flavors, lightly boozy, toast and wood. Thin and metallic at times, boozy with some toast and a light bitterness on the finish.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Rather dissapointing! - no oak detected at all. seems like an average bottle of Munich Dark. Malty and drinkable, but nothing special.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
22oz. Bottle: Aroma of malt, nuts, dried leaves, slight oak, and slight Earth. Poured brown/copper/deep amber in color with a large, tan head that greatly diminished but lasted throughout as a film on top of the beer as well as around the edges. Clear. Slightly sparkling. Small lacing. Flavor is medium sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of malt, nuts, light oak, dried leaves, grains, barley, and Earth. Light to medium body. Dry texture. Average carbonation. Medium sweet, nut, malt, and dried leaf finish is dry.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft. Pours a bruin body with an tan head and decent retention. Sweet and malty up front, light oak and vanilla notes. Earth and roasted malt tones dry the brew out slightly. A mild oak tone with a mild body. Decent.
