COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The creme-coloured, fine-pored froth forms a nice contrast to the dark red-brown of the beer; the nose detects a robust malt scent with subtle undertones: a slightly caramel touch. A malted sweetness is noted when first sampling. This is quite decently supported by a subtle bitter touch. A full-bodied, well-rounded malt taste remains on the palate.

Clear dark amber with a thin tan topper. Aroma of caramel, pale malt and no real hops. Taste is ho-hum with caramel and malt. Easy drinkable and easily forgettable.

Draft in the half liter mug. Pours clear amber with rich beige head and some lacing. Caramel and candy aromas with a hoppy finish. Medium body. Interesting. Oh and burpy.

This is my go-to beer when I’m at hofbrau. It’s beautiful with a rich, dark copper color, with a nice tan head. The aromas are roasty, but sweet. It’s one I can drink all night.

This is the only beer I’ve honestly had at Newport’s Hofbrauhaus. Why look elsewhere? Perfectly acceptable brew that can be enjoyed the whole evening.

chriso (7065) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAR 10, 2011
On tap at Hofbrauhaus Newport, March 2010 (as Hofbrauhaus Newport Dunkel). Not a particularly dark dunkel. Ruddy copper colour. Thin pale beige head. Light caramel aroma. Fairly nutty flavour. Some creamy toffee but not too sweet. Quite decent

TeamTrappist (799) - jericho, New York, USA - FEB 24, 2011
Tap at Wunderbar. Poured a clear but dark mahogany with a thin head. A bit sweet up. Nice malty beer with fairly rich and robust flavor. Really drinkable and possibly my favorite German beer.
