On tap at the brewpub on 05/31/2009. Clear dark brown body with ruby highlights and a creamy tan head. Sweet roast and chocolate aroma. Roast, chocolate and mild bitter flavor. Light body with moderate carbonation. Nearly a porter really.

One of the better beers I tasted there. Dark brown color. Grain aroma. Flavor is also very grainy, like eating a handful of unprocessed grain. But this actually works for this beer, even if it isn’t as roasty as a dunkel should be. ----------updated Winterfest 2009. I like this even more. Lots of grain flavor with lager yeast. Full, thick palate, lots of malt and roasted character with a hint of smoke. Like something out of the Czech Republic.
