Poured into a pilsener glass, the appearance was a ruddy semi-dark orange color with a three finger white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Moderate messy lace.
The aroma had some toffee malts and some sweet crackers to biscuity warmth. Subtle grassy hops.
The flavor leans malty sweet. Biscuity to cracker leads into the aftertaste and on into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Mild carbonation. Malty smoothness rolls over my tongue.
Overall, pretty good Dunkelbock, I think I could come back to.

Draught pint at the brewpub, 11/5/2005 with Muzzlehatch. Minimally filtered, brassy-orange with some strong beige-to-pencil-yellow hues and a very small, rather poorly retained off-white to beige colored head. Aroma shows dry toffee and caramel with tons of lager yeast. Nice bockiness, with some caramel corn notes and a touch of light, dry, yellow fruits. Strong, but mostly just sweet caramel malts and lager yeast. Flavor begins with plenty of sticky, sweet caramel and toffee, followed by some lightly drying, yeast notes, moderately acidic, lightly sour toasted grains/munich malts and a hint of soft, grassy hops. Plenty more yeast, which dosent quite balance the sticky caramel. The complexity is lacking, which creates some fatigue on the palate, when drinking a whole pint. The carbonation is low to moderate and the mouthfeel is sticky, with a touch of bready dryness on the texture as it warms. Well-concealed alcohol and low hops, with plenty of yeast and sweetness. It’s well-done to style and maybe batch two will yield a bit more complexity/balance.
