Rated 2/1/07: This has quickly become one of my favorite Dunkels, boy am I impressed with the overall enjoyment of this beer. Rich aroma of lightly roasted malts, mild chocolate and maybe even a little cedar. Pretty nice pour, medium darkness for the style. Nice creamy tan head and some solid lacing. Nice body and really smooth, easy to drink. Flavor is lively, the malt is headstrong but coupled nicely with some balancing hop flavors. Lightly smoked with a moderate bitterness. A wonderful tasty treat.

Draft. Brown, Coke-syrup color. Thin, icy, lazy head. Roasted nut brown quality. Oak-tasting finish. Easy drinking but unexceptional.

pours with a decent head. somewhat short lived. decent roast flavor. watery and thin though. ok overall

My favorite harpoon. Typical of the style, very malty, sweet flavor. Not watery. Smoky aroma, very little hop flavor, nearly no bitterness. Not as complex as many stronger beers, but it was easy to drink.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown body with nice size head. Very nice sweet malty aroma, slight candy essence noticed as well. Flavor is sweet with malt, smooth, light mouthfeel with a touch of smokiness going on in there. Nice dunkel.

Pours very dark amber. Malts tasted of chocolate and raisin. Finishes sweet.

lots of raisin, carmel, chocolate malt, brown sugar, molasses, and roasted malt. i liked this one, though i must say, i thought it was difficult to pigeon hole this into a specific category.

Deep reddish amber in color. Small off white head. Get alot of caramel, fruit, and light notes of chocolate in the aroma. Taste is caramel/light toffee, lightly fruity, with a touch of chocolate. some grains and light astringency in the finish, as well as some very light bitterness.
