(swing top bottle) Dark reddish amber colour with a fluffy beige foam, which is quite unstable but moderately persistent. Sweet and slightly nutty aroma of dark and toasted malt with caramel, bread dough and a touch of herbal hops in the background. Moderately sweet and slightly bitter flavour, medium to light body, smooth carbonation. Toast-malty tasty, minimal roasted notes with melanoidins, also caramel; medium dry, malty, slightly bitter, dense hoppy and a bit slim finish with light aspects of chocolate in the aftertaste. Decent Dunkel from the east of Germany.

Swing-top bottle: Darek amber coloured, lacing small off-white head; sweetish, dark-malty aroma with a tinge of roasted malt, maybe a bit coffeeish; nearly dry (malty) flavour with some bitterness, light bodied; malty, a bit coffeeish finish with a faint (unhoppy) bitterness. A bit thin, but all in all a good,decent Dunkel..............
