COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A bottom-fermented dark beer speciality, which is manufactured in traditional Bavarian brewing procedure.

Bier von königlicher Hoheit.
Mit bestem dunklen Gesternmalz und feinherbem Aromahopfen gebraut. Feinwürzig-malzig und typisch dunkel. Seine Königliche Hoheit, Prinz Luitpold von Bayern, achtet persönlich auf die hohe Qualität dieses Bieres. So ist es Familientradition. Denn schon das Reinheitsgebot von 1516 verdanken wir den Wittelsbacher Wilhelm IV. Ausgesuchte Rohstoffe aus dem Süden Deutschlands, ein spezielles Sudverfahren und die hohe Vergärung machen dieses Bier so süffig. 12°

Color of brown clear caramel and a decent top. First reaction for smell was marzipan, perhaps caramel and hops after. Also the taste is not far from the noseing impression, nice, slightly sweet bitter hops and mostly caramel what this is about. Nice light-sided beer.

MikeKeller (560) - Kemi Rock City, FINLAND - MAY 14, 2013
Bottle from München @ home. Cola brown clear beer with big beige head at first the going really small. Aroma has sweet malts and some roastiness. Flavour pretty much the same. Caramel malts, roasted maltyness, some weak metallicness and a bit bitterness in the end. No suprises here for good or bad.

jookos (761) - Helsinki, FINLAND - APR 30, 2013
Bottle (thx sprklfrc!). Dark reddish, clear. Roasty tones, sweetish brown malts. Body is light, well bitter. Some corny tones, dark bread. Some metallic tones, but quite nice. A good, well bittered dark bayerish dunkel.

Oakrock (60) - Helsinki, FINLAND - APR 26, 2013
Nice looking, but quite empty taste map. It should be much more bitter and acid. Should the hops be changed?

Argonian (133) - Athens, GREECE - APR 15, 2013
On tap. Pours a dark ruby body, with a very light brown head that diminishes quickly, leaving a fair lace. Aroma dominted byroasted malts. Taste is better though, notes of caramel, medium sweet. No aftertaste. Oily texture, medium body, average carbonation. A good dunkel, nice example of the kind.
