akevitt (96), Valhalla, Minnesota, USA May 25, 2008 The beer was brown with thin white foam. In the aroma and flavor there was sweet dark caramel malt along with the strong presence of metal. It is way overpriced for what it is.
cab (760), Denmark Oct 9, 2008 Bottle. Taste is sweet with lightly roasted malts, its malts has character of caramel and plum flavors. Sweet malts with light molasses. DarkElf (2681), La Jolla, California, USA Sep 16, 2008 <b>12-Sep-08</b> <i>(750-ml bottle: Purchased 09-Feb-08 for $5.99 at Ledger’s Liquors in Berkeley, CA)</i> This is certainly an uncomplicated brew. A straight-shooter, the sweet, caramely and chocolaty malt easily dominates, with notes of earth and toast. The beer seems fairly well oxidized as well, but this is more of a sherry-like oxidation rather than wet cardboard, and maybe even helps to smooth out the beer further. On the palate, the beer is medium in weight, sweet but not cloying, and moderately carbonated but soft and smooth. Chocolate, toasty bread and caramel in the nose, simple and straight forward like the flavor, but enticing. The beer pours rather pale for a dark lager, but I guess everything is relative. Orange-amber in color and fairly hazy with a light-tan head that rises to half an inch before settling to a thin ring. Overall, it’s a bit simple, lacking the depth or richness of German dunkels, but it’s smooth, easy to drink, and enjoyable enough to down this 750 without a second thought. BeerGestapo (351), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 24, 2008 (Denmark) Pours a med-brown color with zero head. The aroma is of walnuts, caramel, and dark malts. Taste is much of the same but the walnut flavor really comes through. The mouthfeel is smooth and has little or no carbonation. Pretty drinkable dunkel !!! afireinside96 (498), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 23, 2008 Bottle shared by BeerGestapo. Thanks Mike. Pours murky brown with hints of red, zero head even after a rough pour. Smells of toffee, dough, caramel, and dark fruit. Taste exactly like it smells with a walnut finish. Good, not great, a tad too sweet. It seems like everyone rated this one low because it is from Carlsberg but it really isn’t bad. liinis (481), Finland Jul 28, 2008 0.75 l bottle from Joutsan Alko. Damn easy to drink light tasty and fresh. a little malty slight roastiness and a bit sweet. simple. I drank it all in 5 minutes. nice.
