Style: Dunkel
Tampere, Finland

Serve in Dimpled mug, Lager glass, Stein

Sep 28, 2006 On tap at Wildeman. A bitter and very dark beer, really good. It’s got a creamy head the tastes picks up, from an easy sip to a punchy finish. Sticky and sweet.

Draught at Plevna, Tampere, Finland.
Black colour with small tan head. Mild sugar and malt in aroma. Flavour is mildly roasted malt, sugar, bread and mild hops. Mostly malt. Rather uninteresting.

(Draught at Pikkulintu) Poured almost black. Head was medium sized and dark brown. The roastiness of the aroma surprised me. Aroma contained also cream and sweetness. Palate was too dry, body was ok. Lack on excessive sweetness was the best thing in the taste. Other flavours were roastedness, burntness, mildly molassess and medium bitterness. Aftertaste could have lasted longer - it contained roastedness and bitterness. Quite easily drinkable session beer - the high carbonation disturbed little.

Tap @ Plevna.
Pours as dark brown colour, slightly transparent. Small white head. Aroma of sweet caramel malts, slightly toasted. Flavour of grainy and toasted malts with mild hops. Medium bodied, thin mouthfeel. Decent Dunkel.

Draught at Plevna. Thick lasting light brown foam. Dark red-brown color. Small aroma without errors. Robust taste with roasted malts and a well balanced bitterness.

Draught @ Plevna, Tampere. Dark brown color, almost black. White small head. Aroma is sweet berry malts, not that roasted. Flavor is surprisingly strong and dry for dunkel. Roastedness, plum.

Draught 0.3L at Pikkulintu. Nice beige head. Dark black/reddish colour. Mild nose. Soft taste malty and mild hoppiness. Some hints of coffee and roasted malts.

Cask at GBBF 2007. A brown beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet malty wtih notes of roasted malt, while the flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt and straw, leading to a dry and slightly roasted finish.
