Completely dark, light brown head and a medium body. Creamy mouthfeel. Mocha-flavored coffee aroma. Super sweet and taste like chocolate cake. Tried with Dia, Paul, Dave, and Erol at Piritos in Budapest.

Tap at Madrid at Košice. Dark brown, almost black colour, medium beige head. Aroma stronger coffee, medium roasted malt, light caramel. Taste light to medium sweet, medium to light heavy bitter. Finish is medium bitter, light sweet. Overall well balanced, very drinkable, good beer.

(Draught at Piovarsky Klub, Prague, 19 July 2008) Very dark brown colour with brief, pale brown head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of chocolate. Malty, roasted taste with lots of chocolate, cocoa and a nice dry bitternes in the finish. Very well balanced dunkel.

1L bottle via Cuso. Dark ruby pour with some central brown tone. Thick spongy tan head. Nose of red wine mixed with sweet dark malt. Upfront cereal tone is quickly overwhelmed by wine infused oakyness. Tart center with a loitering finish. Body is medium and short-lived. If there are any hops in this dunkel they have been consumed by the wet oak / wine bittering. A very nice change of pace. D’akujem vám!

A dark brown coloured beer with a thin, off-white head. The aroma is absolutely similar to a cup of coffee. The taste is malty with notes of coffee, dark chocolate and roasted malt. The finish is bitter-sweet. A good one...!

bottle, kindly donated by Cuso - thank you! Deep brown colour, large and creamy beige head. Aroma of roasted malts. Full-bodied, solid malt flavours with lots of caramel and dark chocolate. Lingering finish with just the right amount of hops to round it off. Delicious.

.33l, updated bottle. Small dark caramel black pour. Sweet coffee and breakfast meat aroma, very appetizing. cool and smooth like dry coffee and ham served for lunch. These are flavors I love but don’t add up to a complete beer. in context

Small, but reasonably stable light-beige head over practically black beer. End of bottle solid yeast. Chocolate, with distinct praliné aroma, then relieved by very inviting noble hops. Coffeeish, even ashy flavours mixed with more chocolate (black & milk). Mildly roasted witha pinch of lactose. Not very well-bodied, feels well-carbonated and moderately slick. This is pretty good, and goes well beyond your ordinary Dunkel. Many thanks to Peter V., and all the people he mobilized to get the beers to Ursel!

On draft at Piritos in Budapest. Looks the part and in good order. However, it has the taste of one of those coffee beers that is made from granules, added at some point, making oine wonder why they do that. The sweetness enhances that effect somehow.

Bottle (1000ml , kindly delivered by Cuso !):Hazy, ruby and dark-amber coloured, mid-sized fluffy tanned head, moderate dryish chalky and toasty-chocolatey nose; very soft, medium bodied, moderate sweet-bitter flavour; slightly lingering fruity-toasty finish, cacao-powder in the aftertaste. Velmi dobré slovenské pivo…
