Commercial Description:
Moerlein Barbarossa is slow-aged with a deep reddish brown color and a malt aroma derived from Munich dark malt. The balanced finish invites a toast to the return of a legend.

Very good for a Lager. Full of flavor, yet full or smoky tones. Tastes smoky, yet balanced. Nutty flavors and malty ones abound.

Draft, at the tapping ceremony at "Arnold’s" bar in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio - Moerllein Barbaro double dark dunkel is a very dark reddish-brown hued brew wioth a very pleasing roasted malt aroma and a fine-bubbled, just barely off-white head of foam. Tastewise, this is a very good dunkel, although its body was a bit lighter than I expected and it does seem to have that watery ending at the finish that some reviewers of the Moerlein beers have commented upon. Overall, another very decent brew from Christian Moerlein.

12oz bottle. Dark ruby color with a dissipating head. Nice malts and hops with big caramel flavors and hints of smoky chocolate.

Light copper, almost a dirty straw color. Malt flavors. Sweetish with a sticky quality. Really nice nose: caramels, malts, raisins drowned in sugar. Warm. Good balance at the end. Good.
