Nov 18, 2004 My favorite Dark. What Beck’s Dark And St. Pauli Girl used to be before going Commercial. Good blended use of malt thru various stages of its taste. Nice finish from its quality hops (Mt.Hood). Dunkel’s not a style I usually drink, but this beer makes it a great place to visit!

Nov 17, 2004 pours clean and dark with minimal head. smells sour/skunky, like a pale lager, and tastes much lighter than it looks. very smooth, but is not anything like a dunkel should be. maybe i need a fresher bottle?

Nov 4, 2004 Updated: Aug 1, 2005Rerate 8-1-2005, based on new nuances I’m turning up with this one. Nice deep rose / mahogany in color and only a brief presence with the head. Aroma is chocolate, cedar panels, caramel, toffee and copper kettle. Flavor evolves, rounding out a nice, sweet caramel and chocolate malt complexion. Hints of peat and smoked malts enter at the tail end to add a slight earthiness persona, but then somewhat diffuse to a chocolatey toffee sweetness. One of Lakefront’s bests.

Sep 27, 2004 Well, I just be gol darned if America doesn’t make some FINE Dunkels! The aroma here, to me, isn’t so much coffee as it is smoky, rich dark nutmeats, souring, getting moldy, along with a hefty bark element. Rich, very slight sweetness lingering in the aroma. The flavor contains swirling brown sugar and iron-y moassess, raisin, and great gobs of thinnish caramel and roasted malt. Noble hops close the deal by thinning the ending palate (they impart some peppery spice, a bit of pencil shavings). Only drawback, and this may be on account of this being an old bottle, is it’s slightly more sour than it should be. The appearance here is gorgeous, the fluff on the bone white head was so large, and fades in moderate time to a small ring.

Sep 20, 2004 Updated: Nov 30, 2004 Pours a dark brown, opaque, with a decent sized head. Aroma is sweet and roasty. Flavor is choclate, coffee, bitter cherry. Nice and full in flavor, and coated the palate quite well.

Aug 11, 2004 Clear dark ruby brown with a medium diminishing light brown head. Aroma of nuts, caramel, cherry, toast, red apple, herbs, and drip coffee. Medium watery body with a moderate amount of carbonation. Flavor of nuts, plum, black cherry, red apple, toast, milk chocolate, drip coffee and a hint of spice. Very good.

Jul 31, 2004 Dark reddish brown appearance, decent head formation. Dark bready, malty, coffee aroma. Rich malty full flavored palate, cocoa, coffee roast, a touch of tea, roasted and nutty in the finish with a mild bitterness. Not too heavy on the palate but packed with flavor.

Jul 30, 2004 Bottle. Nicely malted beer. Mostly a gritty chewy malt. No coffee, or chocolate flavors that I could find. Nicely done beer.
