Deep dark brown colour, tall frothy beige head, good retention and lacing. Aroma sweet malts, liquorice, molasses, sugar syrup. Flavour heavy sweet, malty, liquorice, molasses; sticky texture. Decent dark lager, but oh man what a sweet bomb.

330ml bottle (as Cerveza Negra) from Total Wine & More, Laguna Hills. Poured into a La Chouffe stemmed tulip glass while on holiday in California. Dark brown body with a ruby hue, thin head that soon turned into a wisp and collar. Malty molasses in the nose and taste, pretty sweet from start to finish, in fact one of the sweetest Dunkel biers I have ever had; good job I have a sweet tooth.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from The Beer Store, Nashua. Appearance is clear, dark brown/ruby read with nice sparkle, 2-finger width foamy light brown head with decent retention and trace lacing. Aroma is earthy roasted malt, mildly floral with European hops. Taste is strong brown bread, earth, honey, mild nuts and fruit. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, not complex and a little to the cloyingly sweet side, but flavorful and enjoyable.

330 ml bottle into lager glass, no bottle dating. Pours crystal clear dark reddish brown color with a 1 finger dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toasted dark bread, brown sugar, and nuttiness; with lighter notes of molasses, toffee, coffee, dark fruit, slight herbal/grass, and roast/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toasted dark bread, and nuttiness; with lighter notes of molasses, toffee, coffee, dark fruit, slight herbal/grass, and roast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal/roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toasted dark bread, brown sugar, nuttiness, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light dryness from hop/roast bitterness as well. Fairly clean on lager flavors; some light fruitiness and minimal off flavors. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy, and lightly sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a good dark lager style. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.
