| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 9, 2007 341 mL stubby. Copper-brown with small head that quickly fades to a film. Aroma has traces of nuts and chocolate, but I get a little sewage in there too. Flavour is better, with bitter chocolate, dry toast, and coffee grounds. Some fruity esters on the sides of the tongue - not sure they belong in a dunkel. Not much hops presence. A little flat and metallic at the end. Decent, but Heritage has better products. matt7215 (959), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada

Sweet honeyed bread aroma, like candy. Clear, amber brown body with a quick off-white head. Mildly sweet initially, flavour has a malty background. Medium body, very smooth. Very nice, would repeat.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 18, 2007 Clear dark amber color, with a beige head, but falls quickly, light dark dried fruit notes, with some mild toasted malts, with a faint nutty and biscuity accent, a sublte spicy nutmeg in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a fruity, toasty malt character, with a biscuity note, a faint nutty accent, hint of toffee, with mild a dark dried fruity flavour, leading towards a malty, lingering hop bitterness finish. pschut (4), Canada does not count | 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 22, 2007 The best Dunkel I’ve been able to find this side of the Atlantic. Not quite like a tall glass poured in a smoky German pub, but very nice regardless. And to think, after many months of looking (not knowing that the kind of beer I tried and loved in Germany is called a Dunkel), it’s brewed just down the road from me.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 10, 2007 Brown body with light off white head. Light malt caramel aroma with a slight must. Light caramel hop flavour. There is nothing too over powering about this. Light hop dry at the end of the sip. OKBeer (1159), Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 13, 2007 Sample at April 2007 Brewnosers meeting. Brown with a fizzy off-white head. Toffee and citrusy hop aroma. Light toffee flavours with a citrusy bitter finish. Light bodied, but still refreshing. Not a chance I dould have pegged this as a dunkel. Given the ramblings over at the Bar Towel about Heritage dumbing down Sargeant Major’s IPA, I wonder if they didn’t mix up a batch and bottle this as the Sarge, because it certainly could have passed as a dark and somewhat dumbed down IPA. In any case, it was decent. daniel0017 (232), Ontario, Canada
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 12, 2007 Clear, dark amber color, no head, slight lace. Decent aroma with accents on maltiness slightly hoppy. Coffee / Chocolate presence with a hint of smoke flavor with smooth, lasting aftertaste. Nice finish, well rounded. Mealy consistency as mouthfeel. Not my style, but still virtuous.
