355ml brown bottle. Dark brown pour with ruby highlights. Creamy tan head that leaves minimal lacing. Nose has chocolate malt with light grains. Taste is of chocolate malt, a little sweetness, very light hop character. A little roast aftertaste. Nice dry finish, creamy texture, light body, mild carbonation, good drinkability. Textbook dunkel, decently executed.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a clear brown, with tan head. Aroma is thin malt to non-existant. Taste is carmel and malt, with nothing distinctive there. This one is smooth and drinkable, but that is about the best I can say about it. Really can’t recommend this one. Thumbs down.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Deep deep mahogony with some red hues.Its pretty nice acutally seeing thu a dark beer lager,nice layer of foam with lacing. Aroma of milk chocolate vanilla nice yeast ,some almost woody mild earthy aroma pretty nice smelling beer.Definatly an aroma you would want to vacate in.
Taste is mellow sweet chocolate with vanilla and not much hop bitterness ,it is smooth good tasting just a little too sweet and almost cola like but minus the carbonation it is creamy malty chocolatly but i was expecting more hop presence or at least a balance of hop flavor/bittering there is a touch of hop flavor but really lacks some bittering and comes off a little on the sweet side.I would never turn this down but i wouldnt seek it out too often, i just like a rich body matched with a good bittering,still a good beer and love the character it has,definatly one of the better dark ales.

Body is medium, malty and sweetish flavor, some fruitiness, caramel and some coffee, faint hoppyness. Finish is average, malty and sweetish, caramel and coffee, faint fruitiness and hoppyness. Sweet dunkel with coffee and caramel - too sweet even for dunkel.

A delicious tasting dark beer. I would definitely get this again. Light on aroma but big on taste.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
This beer is really pretty decent, but still nothing much to it. I like some more complexity.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft. Deep dark reddish-brown in color with a lasting two-finger off-white head. Pretty nice aroma if subtle. Toasty malt notes, mild coffee, and sweet malt. The flavor is good, with sweet dark chocolate, roasty flavors, pumpernickel bread, and earth. Medium-bodied with average carbonation and decent smoothness. Really good dunkel overall.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Date: August 4, 2011 Mode: Bottle Source: Miller Brew House, Milwaukee, WI Airport Appearance: Semi-opaque brown with medium amount of head. Aroma: Malty and coffee. Flavor: Consistent with aroma, slightly carbonated, thin bodied. Other: Deceptive for a dark beer in being so thin bodied. It was okay.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a red brown color with an extremely pillowy off-white head. There is a medium-high aroma of malts and cocoa. A full mouth feel but not a full body. Very rich without being overly filling. A nice mocha feel throughout the entire tasting experience capped off with a cola aspect. A good fall beer.
