Beautiful deep chestnut colour, clear, thin white head; lightly toasted malt aroma; rounded malty taste with a gentle caramel sweetness; grassy hops in the background; smooth and rather delicious, reminiscent of an unfashionable traditional West Country malty brown bitter on top form.

3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a deep mahogany with off-white head. Toasted grains, chocolate, and caramel. Smells great, just what you want from a dark German. The taste is a little off, starts off sweet and grainy, but has a bitter (almost metallic finish). I think this one might have been sitting in the fridge a little bit too long. Will have to try it again fresh.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Appearance: dark brown, with some reddish notes and a khaki head. Aroma: dark malts, with some slightly grassy hops. Taste: toffee, caramel, slightly burnt toast, with a bit of candied nuts, with mellow, earthy hops in the back seat. Finish: smooth, dry, with lingering notes of slightly dusty, grassy hops. Notes: Felt much more like a dunkel than a schwarz, so it was nice to see it classified properly here. Not a bad dunkel at all. Slightly sweet, malty, and nutty, with a light enough palate to keep it drinkable.

Brown color with ivoty head. Malt, caramel and toast aroma. At taste is light sweet and medium bodied, with roasted malt flavour.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
500ml bottle. Copper-glinting chestnut with a plump beige foam. Aroma rich and attractive with plummy, sticky liquorice, muscovado sugar and malt loaf tones. Soft, caramel-draped maltiness with dark stone fruit, Nutella-spread toasted black bread and chewy but still juicy prune-like impressions. Pipette of Bovril. Fine malty brew.
