Weltenburger Kloster Barock Dunkel

Plenty of flavor, great balance, went like a dream with some sausages. Poured dark brown with a pretty impressive beige head. Malty nose like faint milk chocolate. Light, malty sweetness and mildly bitter flavor. Leaves a slightly sweet, roasty aftertaste. Nothing fancy, it just avoids flaws and tastes good. Hope to try more soon.

Bottle: Amber coloured, quite stable yellowish loose head; relatively dry dark-malty nose with a distinctive touch of toasted malt; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; drier malty-bitter finish with a roasted "tail" in the aftertaste. A dry and clean Dunkel..........

A dark brown color with a slight reddish hue. Has about a 1-finger off-white head. A roasty malt nose with a bit of a carbonic twinge. Strong grainy flavors. A bit tannic, but there is some weird malt/wet dog skunkiness going on. It’s got to just be this bottle because I had this before I started rating and remembered that I liked it a good bit. Oh well.

Everything about this reeks of quality and balance. Aroma is sweet malts with some roastiness. Clear chestnut color with beautiful foamy beige head. The flavor is very malty with just right dose of sweetness, bitterness and roast. Hints of fruits. Wonderful dry malty finish. Medium body. The reference dark lager.

Pours a brownish amber color with a tall lingering froth. Mild aromatics at play with meat, coffee bean, and cocoa. Medium nectar with good carbonation. Defined cocoa, coffee bean, and unsweetened brownies balanced by a mild velvet hop bittering. The finish lingers with cocoa and coffee. Very tastey indeed. As the commercial description says, this specimen does have a sence of elegance to it with no medicinal properties to speak of.

Draught at Kleine Bierstube, Århus
Dark mahogany color; creamy head. It has a mild caramel aroma and stronger caramel flavor; the mouthfeel is rather smooth. The final is maybe too bitter (from the malt). Ordinary.

Bottle 0.5 l. Dark brown, smallish head. Nose is roasted malts, toffee, sweet. Flavor is roasted, fruity and full. Nice thick mouthfeel. By far one of the best dunkels, if not the best. Perfectly balanced and tasty.

roasted aroma, coffee and ruby color. chewy roasted flavor, light texture. tasty but uninspiring.
