A work of art first and last: chestnut brown, fine and glossy; topped with a charming, cream-coloured, firm head. Aroma of nuts, roasts and dry damson plums. The top notes are characterised by a hint of milk chocolate. You could perhaps imagine lye rolls still warm from the oven. The first impressions are hearty: full-bodied, soft, round, almost creamy; with a sublime perlage. With so many delights for the senses, you will want to have another taste. And another... Even the last sip has something you will never have experienced before, such as dates and chocolate. Original wort: 13,6º.

Pours very dark amber to light brown, looks brownish in the glass with red hues through light. About one finger of a rather compact head, the slightest off-white, shows decent persistence and scarce lacing. Nice intensity in the aroma: soft nutty maltiness upfront with notes of caramel and hints of something bordering spiciness and rye bread. Light fruity hints (can't pick up anything specific) and a quite vivid per style floral/tea-like hop bitterness. Nice. Taste notes follow the aroma closely, with medium sweetness and medium bitterness; a slight sweet edge upfront and quite some bitterness (by style standards) in the finish/aftertaste, which also leaves a fruity hint (dark/dried fruits). Quite intense in taste as in the aroma, and well defined, though i feel like there's a bit too much contrast between the sweet entrypoint and the relatively bitter finish. Light to medium bodied, average fine-bubbled carbonation, feels fuller than most dunkels. Overall a quite intense example of the style, in both taste and mouthfeel. Pretty nice.

Bottle from Beer Cave. Appearance - amber to brown with a beige head that disappears fairly quickly. Nose - Highland toffee, light raisins and bread. Taste - more prominent raisins this time, caramel and cake. Palate - medium bodied, creamy middle and the finish is a combo of rich and roasty. Overall - drinks very well!
