Bottle. Head is initially large, frothy, light brown, mostly lasting. Body is medium brown. Aroma is moderately malty (roasted nuts, toasted bread, caramel, cookie), lightly hoppy (herbs, flowers), with notes of toffee, marzipan, orange zest. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, lively carbonation. Another winner from Staffelberg. I like this brewery...they know how to make a beer enticing, clean, and balanced. This is a session beer and how!

Golden-brown. Very toasty, appetizing aroma. Quite toasty character. Nice body and good balance.

Sorry for the german rating, but this is a lousy rating from my "newbie" time (2007-2009), and it’s not worth of being translated. I just added it for the statistics, and to complete my backlog!
Im Glas steht ein rötlich-braunes Dunkles mit guter, standhafter, flacher Cremekrone. Der Geruch ist dominant karamellmalzig, eine minimale Kafferöstigkeit gesellt sich hinzu. Der Antrunk erfolgt angenehm karamell-süßlich, etwas Toffee ist dabei. Im Verlauf nimmt die Röstmalzigkeit etwas zu, es bleibt aber insgesamt sehr süßlich. Der Abgang ist kernig würzig, recht mild ausklingend und wieder dominiert ein angenehmes Karamellaroma.

Bottle in Schlitz. Pours a clear, dark orangish brown appearance with a tan head. Rich caramel malty, straw nose. Somewhat nutty, toffee, caramel/straw malty, noble hoppy flavor. Pretty tasty.

Bottled. Clear nut brown, small head. Nutty peach aroma. Dryish and well rounded with vital malt profile but low hop rate. Bready with salty finish. A pleasant, very moreish and relaxed dunkel.

Dark brown and red color, little beige head. Nuts, chocolate, sweetness and roastiness in aroma, nice one! Medium bodied. Chocolate, nuts, roastiness also in flavor, coffee lasts with chocolate in aftertaste.

It’s dark amber with a huge, creamy head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, caramel, nut-chocolate, light syrup. The flavour is moderately sweet with notes of caramel, light chocolate, hints of licorice and nuts. The finish is dry with light notes of citrus. It’s a nice dunkel.

Draft @ brewpub, in glass mug. Warm reddish brown with thick stable rocky head and splotchy lacing. Aroma of sweet bready malts and nice speculaas aromas. The flavors have nice spice in addition to the bread malts, adding to the speculaas character. Good quaffability and nice mineral character on the palate.

Bottle, 5% bought at the brewery. Mildly farty aroma. Clear dark brown colour. Small stable tan head. The flavour is nicely roasted, slightly sweet. Good and nutty. A bit on the sweet side, but nice enough. Spicy hop flavour in the aftertaste.

Bottle (from Landbierparadies): Brownish-amber coloured, thin, but firm and stable "dirty" white head; clean, sweet malty aroma: caramel, roasted malt, a tinge of hops, too; malty flavour: slightly sweetish, distinctive caramelly, becoming dryer towards the finish; some bitterness in the aftertaste. A well made, clean Dunkel, not one-dimensional !
