500ml Bottle, just out of date when poured into my ’Judas’ stemmed massive tulip glass on 4 Apr 2013. Looked really great: a reddy, mahogany brown body with a very large head of foam on top. Malty notes hit your nose: sweet molasses, caramel and toffee hints come through more and more as the beer warmed in the glass. Those same sweet malty aromas are also within the taste, this is a sweet brew:most likely the sweetest beer in this style I’ve had so far. Body suits the alcohol content and overall a pleasant and easy drinking beer.

Biggish beige head. Clear deep brown body. Earthy caramelly aroma with chocolatey notes. Dry-sweet roasty earthy raisiny taste with honey notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish earthy peppery honey aftertaste with bready caramelly notes. Really nice. Drinkable and full of character; more generous than most dunkels. (0.5l bottle, Absinth Depot Berlin.)

500 ml bottle into pilsener glass, no bottle dating. Pours crystal clear reddish brown color with a small 1 finger fairly dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Minimal spotty lacing on the glass, with a fair amount of carbonation streaming up. Aromas of caramel, toast, toffee, nuttiness, biscuit, molasses, raisin, prune, light chocolate, and light earthy spiciness. Very nice aromas with good strength and balance. Taste of caramel, toffee, toast, biscuit, nuttiness, molasses, raisin, light chocolate, and light herbal spiciness. Lingering notes of caramel, toffee, nuttiness, toast, light chocolate, and biscuit on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robust flavors with great balance and very clean; no cloying sweetness at all. Medium carbonation and body; with a slightly creamy and very crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with pretty much no warming noticed at all on the finish. Overall this is an excellent Dunkel lager. Very nice balance and complexity of flavor; and extremely smooth and easy to drink. Very well done.

Bottle at Rathskeller in Indy. The beer is a dark ruby-brown color with a medium light beige head that diminishes slowly. Rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of caramel, roasted malt and fruit. Light-bodied with a toasty malt character and notes of caramel and sweet fruit. The finish is malty with a sweet roast aftertaste. Decent overall.

16.9 oz. bottle. Julio’s Liquors for $3.89 after Wild Six Discount. Red/ brown color with lively Co2. Very thin white head and spotty lace down the lager glass. Smells real nice, lots of roast. Pretty malty beer, with rich caramel and toffee notes initially and a nice Euro hop to add bitterness. Hazelnut notes. This was clearly a fresher bottle. Drier finish, this bottle was gone way to fast. This would be Supreme on draught. I could drink large amounts of this.
