Flaska från Hier-Gibt’s-Bier.de. Klar bärnstensfärgad vätska med lågt skum. Stor maltig doft med nötter, rågbröd och torkad frukt. Stor mjuk kropp, inte så vörtig som en dunkel kan vara utan stora ganska söta motiga maltsmaker som möter en för stilen ovanligt stor humlegiva med både fruktig och rejäl beska. Riktigt riktigt gott.

Poured on mug, can't be sure about colour but i'd say something in the likes of light brown / dark reddish. A quite dense off-white head shows good retention and nice lacing. Aroma is a not especially potent, super classic dunkelish, with a caramel and nutty malts base, a bit of cola-like feel, and hints of frutiness. Taste, however, is definitely more bitter than the average dunkel. Again, caramel and nutty malts base, but also a hint of roasted malts. Slight kinda berrish fruitiness and a rather strong per style flowery hops bitterness that also brings a clean finish. Overall, perfect sweet/bitter balance in the mouth, slight bitter edge in the finish and a clean, quite dry per style aftertaste. Light bodied with quite low, delicate carbonation, resulting in a smooth, easy feel. Aroma and taste were perhaps not too intense, but as with many german lagers, the drinkability and balance give this beer a moreish feel. Very nice.
