On tap. Pours a near clear amber brown with visible catbonation ant a brown head that lasts throughout the beer and laces nicely. Aroma has sweet grains that are backed by dark bread and a slight hint of roasted malts. Flavor has lots of bread and a big of sweetness with a mellow finish.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a dark brown color with a one finger of off white foaminess that bled to a light lacing.
The smell had some cinnamon, breadiness, light raisin backed up by some light caramel malts.
The taste was mainly sweet through the previously mentioned flavors.
On the palate, this one sat right at a medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was pretty subdued and good to me.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good Munich Dunkel to have again.
