Our award-winning Dark Dunkel Kolsch is a unique lager-ale crossover beer that combines the crisp, light characteristics of a Kölsch with the malty, roasted flavors of a dark dunkel, yet ale yeast. It has a smooth and refreshing taste with a slight hint of chocolate and roasted malt, making it a perfect beer for any season. Bronze Medal at the 2024 Ohio Craft Brewers Cup for Best German-Style Ale

Aromas are dark malt and roast with hints of molasses and banana. Flavors are not quite as good as nose. A little bit simmer but add in some sour. Don't know if it's going bad or just poor brewing skill. Date stamp is unreadable. Just barely drinkable I hope.

From a 2$ can this pours a fantastic looking dark cola colored brew with a really nice big choco moose foaming head. Nose is mild chocolate malt. First taste is pretty good too! Very mild dark beer attitude with just a tad of tartness. Some burnt damp wood flavors coming thru in the middle, but never in yer fave. Well balanced. I'm liking this. I really like dunkel beers and this one lives up to my expectations, even tho they say its an ale. I probably should have picked up a sixer of this. I see its referring to a kolsch ale in the description but I don't get any negative bitter kolsch character. Decent co2 throughout. Very nice dark dunkel beer finish. Not bad! A fun dark beer for a change. The first beer I had from the brewer, good job Schnetzle.

Pour is a dark brown with a small white head. Aroma is a nice roasted nut with some coffee. Flavor is again a dry bakers chocolate with a roasted nut aftertaste. Dark kolsch or dunkel this is a nice tasty beer.

Very dark brown with faint orange highlights and a medium sized foamy tan head that lift good lacing. Woody with a coffee note. Long finish. Medium body.
