A deep reddish amber dunkel with a thin off white head. In aroma, a sweet caramel fudge, nutella, light German hops, wonderful. In mouth, a nice malty taste with light burned coffee notes, medium bodied. Can, shared with probstk, Sept. 12 2009.

$3 for this 12 oz can at Barley & Hops in Bethel Park. Pop the lid for the big foamy explosion, uncontrollable off white foaming in the can and when you pour it into the glass. The aroma is that of many cheaper lagers I’m familiar with, I’d say sweetish earthlike and corn but I don’t see corn on the ingredients. On the palate there is a tingling above average carbonation, very nice! The color is darker than the typical pale yellow american beer. Its more like brown brown orange (11000). Certainly has a warming alcohol bite when it finds it way down your throat. Surprisingly has a maple taste to it, but it is not overly sweet. An industrial bitterness builds on the back of the throat with each sip. At times it seems to have a plastic taste to it. Finish is well behaved but that plastic industrialness seems to hang for a while. I’m not sure why others think this is so good when it comes across like a cheaper american lager in enjoyability.

12 oz can shared by Odeed; Nose very bad earthy with grain and some sulfur skunk; hazy copper with a big beige head; flavor of hop bitterness and caramel with an acidic aftertaste. Not a very good dunkel? Or just an infected can?

Tap at Independence Brewery. Grass, molasses and malt aroma. Brown with moderate head. Grass/hay malt flavor - light. Would like this better with a stronger malt flavor.

Can can caaannnn, how do u like, how do you like it. Poured into an old school Lowenbrau lager glass. Initial head is big, settles down into a medium lacing. Color is crystal clear dark copper, completely lucid. Aroma is slightly nutty and slightly lagered fruitiness. Taste is very clean with slight nuttiness, no off putting lagered fruitiness. Very simple and traditional. Average mouthfeel, low bitterness, clean mineral water with slight malty aftertaste. Nice enough, I have many worse dunkels and this pleasantly not off-putting.

I first rated this one 11/21/06 and had what I believe was an infected beer because it was very off and awful. Now I am rerating a new can. This beer poured a dark red-caramel color with a huge foamy tan head that produced good lacing. The aroma was sweet with caramel malt and faintly fruity. The flavor was tangy with notes of chocolate, caramel, faint cherries and fig and had a light sour and bitter undertone. The finish was medium length, tangy, bitter and had faint notes of caramel and vague fruits. Medium body and rather smooth. Decent.
