This deep mahogany Euro-style lager has a nice balance of malts and hops, which lend to the full-flavored body and mild aroma. It has a pleasantly malt-fruity palate, with touches of chocolate, and some hoppy bitterness coming through at the end.

Draught from the resto. Kind of licoricey. I don’t know if i’d call this a vienna but I like it ok.

From old tasting notes. Mahogany brown color. Tan head. Mild roasted malt aroma. Tasty roasted malt flavor with a fragrant hop follow up. Ther is a bittersweet underlying note that prevails in the finish. Long satisfying bittersweet aftertaste. Flavorful and full bodied.

Bottle labeled Sundown Dark Beer. Pours dark brown with some amber around the edges, and a medium beige head that recedes steadily. Strings of lacing on the glass. Roasted malt, nuts and hops in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of grainy malt, caramel and slight hops. The finish is sweet with a short malty aftertaste. Just average overall.

Location: Draft at the Berghoff, 6/2/14
Aroma: The nose is malty and kind of dull (kind of a theme here), chocolate and caramel notes
Appearance: This one pours a dark brownish color with a reddish hue
Flavor: The flavor is much the same, malty, a little thin, with a decent amount of sweetness
Palate: The body is light-medium, it has an okay mouthfeel, and a thin finish
Overall Impression: Just a very okay beer. Really no issues with it per se, just not all that interesting at all. Fine. Drinkable. Forgettable.

Bottled (backlog, as Sundown Dark Beer), had@Monks Café, Stockholm. Brown colour with a mediumsized beige famy head, that leaves some lace. Aroma is chocolaty, nutty, toasted and also has some slight perfumed notes to it. Flavour is toasted malts, some metallic notes along with some slight chocolate and toffee.

Mahogany with a thin, light tan head. Aroma of caramel, fruit, slightly chocolatey. Taste is malty, nutty-chocolate, caramel. A little flat-feeling, but not a bad flavour.

Bottle. Light chocolate barley malt aroma. Dark chestnut with large tan head. Sweet stale barley malt flavor. Medium body. Not bad - this was an older bottle though.

Bottle. Diacetyl caramel malt aroma. Chestnut with a small beige head, suspended sediment. Sweet caramel malt, toast, and diacetyl flavor... just like the aroma. Medium body. Overall just way too sweet for me.
