(Bottle 33 cl) Almost black beer with a vague red hue. Very typical appearance for a Dunkel. Dark, lightly roasted malty tone with a good sweetness. No particular bitterness. Surprising sediment. 150404

Very dark, totally hazy; virtually no head. Nose yields cassis, dark malts, chocolate, all at the same time whilst pouring - NICE. But very ephemere - two minutes later, all that rests is chalk. Taste is completely at odds with the first nose. There might be a little cassis (blackcurrant), and some dark malts, and if Jonas means Pumpernickel with sourdough, I completely agree - but essentially the main flavour is dreary licorice - and I can even TASTE chalk. What a bummer. Again, thinnish texture and light bodied. Very little aftertaste. Oh my. I'm afraid Hirschbrauerei is never going to rank high on my favourites' list. And Jonas and me were so excited about this 1782 name...

Sourdough and fruit nose, vegetable bitterhops as well. Pours a dak brown with negligible head. Tart dough flavors again, some fruit and a slightly flowery hop finish - I really miss some pronounced roasted flavors here though. Body is water after the Augustiner Dunkel I had before. They claim this is a beer as it would have been brewed in 1782, but I have a hard time believing they would make anything as bland as this back then.
