Bottle. Dark copper pour but only a small ring of tan foam around the edge of the glass. Aroma is malty and caramelly. Soft toasty notes and a hint of watered down coffee. Taste is toasted malts, caramel, and some fruit notes. Body is light, bordering on thin at times with mild carbonation. Ends with more toasted malts, very faint coffee, caramel and fruit.

Jul 25, 2008 Very dark looking with a touch of red and a thin head. Roasted malt and definite licorice notes in the aroma and flavor. Lightly carbonated... overall a nice dark brew.

Jun 23, 2008 Its almost unconscionable that I have never tried this beer! Nice toffee/melanoidin nose, nutty with a hint of chocolate, vaguely earthy. A background of spicy hops. Garnet color with a foamy head. Nice clean presentation with a full rounded toffee malt presence. Tingling hops help segue to the balanced finished, which is earthy, semi-dry, and lightly hopped. Easy drinking, like any good dunkel would be a good partner to a wide variety of foods.

Jun 23, 2008 Bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville. Pours a cranberry brown with a minimal head. Kinda boring aroma of strong, strong grain. Damn. Taste is straight up roasted malt. Cocoa puffs? Nutty, earthy, grainy.
