first time having a dunkel. Thick creamy and tan head, lasting a while. Smell of malt and hops. Flavor is good, malty and hint of hops and some sort of fruit. Dry finish. All the reviews say that this is not a dunkel. I cannot attest for that, but I can say that I think it is a damn good beer.

This dark Bavarian inspired beer pours a very dark copper color with a dark ruby red hue. A big frothy tan head sits on top which hangs out for awhile and left behind delicate lacing on the glass. The aroma is sweet and bready with a light hopy and nutty character. Its flavor is full of dark sweet malts. There are burnt caramel, dark toast and chocolate notes over a moderately bitter hops. The malt sweetness lingers into the finish. It has nice medium body with good carbonation a silky smooth texture. I really enjoyed this beer and would defiantly recommend this to anyone who enjoys dark Munich style beers.

Pretty good. Clean in flavor. Dark in color. Caramel notes to it. Not a bad beer. Good beer made by Harpoon. I enjoyed it. Roasty.

Undated single bottle. Astonishingly good! Great chocolate flavor – almost a chocolate soda, with great carbonation. Reminded me of Fullers Porter at first sip… probably not true to the Dunkel style, but very tasty.
