A rich dark amber beer with full-flavored, smooth taste nicely accented with satisfying notes of roasted malt and subtle bottom fermenting yeast tones.

500ml can. Pours a clear mahogany with a medium, creamy, long lasting, beige head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Aroma of roasted malt, earth, dark chocolate and nuts. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, caramel, dark chocolate and date in a dry, bitter coffee finish. Light body with a watery texture and average to soft carbonation. Malt forward and easy to drink.

I can’t believe I never rated this or my rating was lost at some point. Here I sit in Epcot Biergarten restaurant drinking a 1/2 liter draft: Poured a deep chestnut brown with some dark orange edges, head was creamy beige. Aroma is rich malt, earth, dark fruits, light metallic. Taste is rich roasted malts, richness brings out an almost chocolate flavor, dark fruits, simple but complex in its own way.

Bottle. Have had much better dunkels. Taste was roasted but too watery, Aroma was just slightly too skunky. Nice brown color, some head. Just middle of the road.

Pour from the tap at an interesting German bar and restaurant in Fredericksburg, TX. Serves up very dark, almost completely black and the bartender put a sizeable head of very light tan foam on top. The drink started all right, full of grain and a bit of licorice, but then later some ash turned up as the brew warmed and that squelches my consuming mass quantities.
