41cl bottle. Burnt malt, dark caramel and faint dark chocolate in aroma. Aroma similar to Baltic porter. Dark cherry in color, pours clear with fast head. Rye, barley and caramel malt - mixed with a dash of coffee and some syrup. Rather light bodied, sticky and overall thin, watery brew. Close to flat carbonation after 2 minutes. Short, sweet caramel coffee finish. I hoped for more from this one. Tastes more like diluted porter to me. 6.5% is to much for such density, and you can feel alcohol in your nose and on your tongue.

Deep dark amber color with tiny head. Aroma is caramel, toffee. Flavor is caremel, toffee, sweet malty finish..

Bottle. Red brown body, minimal head. Aroma of roasted malts. taste was little bit sour, little bit malty and smoky. Dry aftertaste.

The head is medium, the body dark. It smells roasty, fruity, apple-raisin. The taste is darkmalty, creamy, apple-raisin. Good 13/12/11/11/12/12

Bottle, 5,8% ABV. Reddish brown, tan head. Nose is caramel, some diacetyl, toffee and raisins. Taste has a lot of buttery caramel, raisins, cherry hints, some roasty-malty notes. Sweet malty finish with more diacetyl and nutty hints. Thin to medium body, discreet carbonation.

410ml bottle; 5,8%. Dark copper body, minimal head. Aroma has dark malt and very light red wine. Caramelly taste with some cherry and red berries. Low hoppiness. Not dark roasty and hoppy like you would expect a Dunkel to be. If you came for that you’ll be disappointed. It’s more like a fruity Vienna.

0.41L bottle. Home made samagon aroma with tiny caramel. On taste is felt gentle brandy, grass, soy sauce. Little dirty mud. Nice appearance, but foam dissapears.

410ml bottle. Coca-cola color. Small head, disappears quickly. Papery, slightly woody and buttery, malty aroma. Mild crisp, faint sour, caramel, dirty flavor. Slightly slick mouthfeel.

Bottle. Pours a deep bronze body with a medium creamy off-white head. Nose is mellow caramel, roasted nuts, bread dough and hints of raisins and burnt sugar. Taste is marzipan, sweet raisins, caramel, hints of nuts and burnt sugar. Some bread dough notes in the aftertaste. Moderate sweetness. Medium to thin body, medium to fizzy carbonation. OK dunkel, as far as I’m concerned.

Bottle from Lithuania. Pours clear brown with a finger of off-white head, sticky lacing.. a really nice looking beer. Aroma has roasted malts, some nuts, a little sweetness. Taste is a little sweet with some nice nutty qualities. I like this.
