Best before 4/16/2011. Perfect deep brown color with ruby bits, nice head formation and retention, nice palate - all pretty normal. The aroma is lightly sweet (caramel) and fresh with a flowery and slightly herbal character. Good, natural, but not particularly strong. The flavor was more than moderately sweet, verging on too sweet. There was a little spice (Thanksgiving stuff? Nutmeg?) and also a little wet cardboard (but the date was fine!). Good, but not great.

Bottled, tnx Ulf ! Red brass colour, thin tan head. Malty nose. Aroma is malt, some cane sugar and prunes and raisins. Flavour is about the same where the roasted sugar hits harder.

Bottle.Dark brown colour with medium beige head.Aroma of rosted caramel and malt,hoppy and crispy with flavor of nuts and chocolate.

Bottle 500ml. Pours a dark red/brown color with a small beige head and a little lacing. Rather low carbonation. Flavor is malty with some caramel, fruits, roasted malts and bread. Slightly bitter-sweet finish, but easily drinkable.

500 ml bottle, as Kloster Scheyern Kloster-Export Dunkel , from Rewe Getränkemarkt, Erding. ABV is 5.4%. Mahogany coloured beer, moderate off-white to beige head. Moderate aroma of brown bread. The flavour is moderately malty with notes of caramel and brown bread, but it is not too sweet. Just enough hops to make this a fairly well-balanced and drinkable dunkel.

Bottle 500ml. Aroma: chocolate, caramel, alcohol, fruity. Taste: sweet, lightly sour. Too high carbonation.

Dark amber color with a small beige head. Aroma is roasted malt. Taste is sweet with roasted malt and caramel notes. Medium palate. Finish is sweet.

Ruby-brown in color, little head. Aroma is a bit bready. Brown ale like flavor though a heavier German style. Enjoyable but not overly flavorful.

[bottle] Roasted almond and bread crust aroma with a touch of cardboard. Clear brown under thin, white wisps. Sort of dry, roasted peanut flavour with definite bread crust and cardboard that finishes with pleasant hazelnut. Medium body, medium carbonation, nutty sort of sour and moderately bitter finish.
