COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Keg; Regular.
A unique recipe to WEST, our Dunkel (meaning dark’ in German) is a special blend of five malts and expertly hopped for added bite, creating a complex beer with an aroma and flavour profile of spice, espresso, dark chocolate, molasses and walnut, yet still highly clean and drinkable.

On-Tap (pint): A reddish brown colour with a nice head leaving some lacing. Light smell of chocolate & nuts that tasted of roasted malts & was again kind of sweet with a nutty, raisin taste and a bitter & warm aftertaste. It was somewhere between light & medium bodied & smooth. Ridiculously easy to drink & very enjoyable, I just wish it was a little stronger in both flavour & smell. - http://abarwithnoname.wordpress.com

UPDATED: MAR 7, 2011 Keg @ West Brewing Company. Mild sweet & sour grassy aroma. Muddy brown colour with not much head. Sweet well balanced caramel, hop & roasted malt flavour. Quite smooth. Vastly improved from when I tried it last May.
