Clear ruby amber brown , huge handsome fine tan top. Handsome dunkel that is . Good lacing. 4+
Refreshing , clean feel , think meadow, think freshly harvested grain and stack of drying hops ,think at end sugar candy blanket.
Clean malty body , slightly spritzy , light woody touches. Very clean work , no off notes. Lighter dunkel than most that is more visible as you drink .

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 17, 2006 From a 500 ml. euro bottle with a freshness date on the back label.
Poured a ruby hued amber with a small foamy pale tan head that settled into a fine bubbly lacing, minimal amount of laced sticking.
Aromas of cocoa, caramel, minerals, a subtle nuttiness and a tiny bit herbal.
Good moderate carbonation and a softly malty crisp, smooth light-medium bodied mouthfeel.
Pleasant tasting, lightly, lightly roasted malts, cocoa, a coffee caramel, a buried nuttiness, a mineral flavor shows up just after the middle of the taste, a herbal hop flavor, not very potent, and a malty finish with some metallic edges.
Not a great German dunkel, wouldn’t be one of first five choices if I was in a bar or restaurant, but passable drinkability.
