A dark beer of premium-class and most popular in its region: these dark brown to black beers have a mild-roasted malty character without the associated bitterness. As speciality beers, they have a full body with a gently enhanced malty flavour and an aroma with low to moderate levels of sweetness. Hop bitterness is low to medium in character.

Very thin. Minor roasted aroma and flavor, with just a little smoke. Along the lines of Warsteiner dark.

2004 bottle from Julio’s. Pour is a drab black olive-grey meets dark chestnut brown, very clear and transparent with a poorly retained, fizzy beige head. Aroma and flavor smell like Earl Gray tea, which is fine with me, but it certainly dosent smell much like a dunkel. That’s the first thing that came to mind and it stuck. Dry, black tea leaves, light herbal notes, light nuttiness. Perhaps some light anise flavoring and a very very faint touch of sweet malt on the finish. Peppery carbonation, light body.
