Mar 2, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. Strongish caramel aroma. Hazy dark brown color with a flat beige head. Near medium body with sharpish carbonation. Flavor is darkish caramel with a little noble hop. Could be a hint of chocolate. Fits the style. The finish does develop a small amount of bitter that accumulates.

Dec 21, 2007 Updated: Jan 25, 2008On tap, part of the 10 beer sampler. Poured a dark amber color. Very close in flavor to the Doppel Bock, but with less body and flavor
Update: Had it a second time and had more flavor. Upped it 0.2 points.

Dec 21, 2007 On tap at Sudwerk. Similar to the Doppel-bock, this one is a bit more watered down version. Flavors are similar (chocolate and caramel), but are muted or distant.

Oct 19, 2006 On tap at the brewpub last week. .3L sample. Similar roasted, cereal-like malt bill to that of the Ur-Pils that I just finished. Some spices and metallic hops notes are also present in the nose. Doesn’t really smell like a dunkel. Mildly hazy dark amber body with a smooth, small, off-white head and ok lacing. Toasted, roasted, malts to start. Becomes lightly floral and a bit hoppy with some lingering bitterness later on. Tastes a lot like the Ur-Pils I just had. Kind of funkel for a dunkel.
