500ml bottle from an Edeka in Berlin. Medium brown in colour, with a moderately-sized, off-white, head. This was a beer dominated by toffee sweetness, alongside some bread malts and a touch of roastiness. Too sweet for me.

An dieses Bier kann ich mich dunkel erinnern, dass ich es bei Dunkelheit zur Vertreibung dunkler Gedanken trank. So schlecht wie dieser Wortwitz ist das Bier gottseidank nicht. Aber wirklich gut auch nicht. Es ist ein klassisches Industrie-Dunkles mit viel Zuckerkulör und chemischen süßen Aromen. Kann man trinken, aber wirklich große Freude macht es nicht.

Bottle. Brown color. Soft café au lait aroma with a hint of roast. Malty yet dry, roasty flavor, lingering on in the aftertaste. Bready, caramel. Surprisingly good.

Cloudy and tastes like it a bit. Has that earthy haze flavour. But the body is pretty good and the rest of the flavours are mellow, but not bad. Dresden supermaket

On tap @ some horrible systemgastronomie I refuse to mention. Dark brown with a nice big head. Aroma and taste are weak. Lack of almost everything I like in a Dunkel. Subpar and boring. It’s drinkable for sure but I really didn’t fancy a second one.

Pours brown with a small, somewhat fizzy head that quickly dissipates. The aroma, quite subdued, is of hops and roasted malts, with a cherry note. Body is relatively thin, with quite a bit of carbonation. The undertone is of roasted malts, but this does not subside into being a sweet, malty brew like a lot of darks; the hops balances it out. Still, the overall the overall taste is rather dull, with notes of paper. In general a dry, mild bitterness dominates from beginning to end. Decent.
