Dark red brown (very dark) with little coarse light brown head. Aroma is walnuts licorice, caramel, toffee. Not very much aroma. Taste is well rounded with sweetness of dark fruits together with a little roasty bitterness. Mouthfeel is actually quite thin. Much carbonation with watery body. However medium long finish with more licorice and sweetness. Overall OK.

0,5 l bottle from Kristall-König. Thanks a lot! A darkest red brown in the glass, small light tanned head. More nuts than malt on the nose. Starts dark malty, roasted, coffie, caramell and nuts, sweetness. Longlasting taste. Maybe some salty hints in the background. Nice one!

Fürst Carl Dunkel, 5,2 %, vom Faß im Schwarzen Bären, Weißenburg i.Bay. - Tiefdunkles Kastanienbraun, auf den ersten Blick fast schwarz; schöner beigefarbener Schaum. - Nase mild säuerlich mit ganz schwachen Röstnoten. - Antrunk äußerst mild, ja fade: schwach röstmalzig, sehr mild fruchtig (Sauerkirsche) und zart pikant säuerlich. Durchschnittlich rezent; wäßriger Körper. Im Abgang überwiegt eine blasse Fruchtigkeit; die Bittere ist nur angedeutet. - Arg dünnes, zwar angenehm fruchtiges aber von deutlichem Röstmalz- wie Hopfendefizit gezeichnetes Dunkel. Trinkt sich weg wie Wasser. (17.4.2015: 2,5.) Aus der Flasche (aus Mixpaket von Biertraum) und 6 Jahre später nicht mehr so wäßrig, weich dunkelmalzig und mit leicht trockenen röstigen und moosigen Noten, auch erfreulich wenig süß, aber nach wie vor zu blaß gehopft und insgesamt etwas unrund, mit fast unangenehmem Nachgeschmack. (20.5.2021.)

The beer starts smooth and fresh. Not too sweetish, nice hints of roast appear. The body is malty-roasty, medium dry, nice malt there. Hints of burned sugar in the aftertaste, moderate bitterness, the beer gets dryer with a very nice maltiness around. Nice dry roasty finish with dry burned sugars and a nice bitterness. Nice and solid Dunkel!
