500 ml screwcap bottle, simply named "Engel Dunkel", confirmed by the brewery website. Bought at Otto Duborg, Flensburg, Germany. ABV is 5.3% (label), brewery website says 5.2%. Unpasteurised but filtered. This is their ordinary Dunkel, not to be confused with their unfiltered Engel Kellerbier Dunkel. Beautiful clear chestnut colour, large and lasting off-white head. Pleasant malty aroma with strong notes of bakery, chocolate and caramel. Moderate carbonation. Malty sweet flavour with a moderate roastiness, notes of Danish pastry, hints of over-ripe berries. Some hops in the finish.

(bottle) Cloudy and hazy orange colour with a big foamy white head. Shy clovy and slightly banana-fruity nose. Light-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied, lively carbonated. Moderately sweet wheaty taste with banana and a rather unpleasant fizzy and clovy finish. Not very round, not very good.

A yellow beer with no head. The aroma is sweet malty and so is the flavor, but in the flavor notes of caramel mixes in.

A hazy orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and wheat, while the flavor is plainly sweet wheaty. Thanks Jeppe (bierkönig) for this one.

Bottle: Hazy, small, but very stable white head; first appear (typical) fruity aromas: bananas, lemons and cloves to make later way for a little floral hoppiness; mild fruiy (citrousy)- bitter flavour; finish begins citrousy to become later hoppy-bitter. Quite pleasant, but maybe not the new brew, the world was waiting for....

An amber beer with a huge orange head. Both the aroma and flavor are sweet with primary notes of caramel. Nothing wrong - nothing special.

Bottle. Semi-fresh hop aroma. Slightly cloudy golden colour. Big white head, quite stable. Medium, sharp bitterness. OK mouthfeel. The flavour is a bit anonymous and I do not like the Campari-like bitterness.

Bottle. 5.4%. Almost clear yellow colour, a lot cloudier towards the bottom, and finally with small floaties (not past BB date). Big. stable white head. Sweetish flavour, a little aroma hops. A lot like the other Engel beers.

Bottle: Hazy, golden to orangey coloured, mid-sized white fluffy head, quite stable; sourish-malty nose, perhaps a bit yeasty; strong bitter flavour, a bit tart, fizzy mouthfeel; soft, lingering bitter-malty finish. Not so good, the unharmonic strong bitterness doesn’t harmonize here so well with the yeasty or fruity qualities of a Keller-Bier........
