Draft at Redlight as BB Burgerbrau. Nice dark golden color, with a clean pilsner profile. Medium bitterness. Bready malts are somewhat sweet, but not too sweet and gave a fullness combined with a refreshing character that I enjoyed.

Pour is a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is faint with some roasted malt and not much else. Flavor is much better with a sweet roasted malt with some caramel and a touch of chocolate at the end. Not the best dunkel by a long shot but its pretty solid and at $1.99 a bottle its worth giving it a shot.

Bottled(500ml). -Reddish brown coloured, small off-white head, caramelish buttery nose. Slight roasted malt, caramel and mild buttery taste but overall brown sugar dominates here. A way too sweet dunkel with some metallic notes in the finish.

0.5l bottle found in Budapest, shared with ogivlado. Poured a reddish brown body with almost no head. Caramel in the nose, Caramel, some wood, a bit butter and brown sugar in the taste. Generic Czech dunkel, more impressive than some but doubt that it’s more so than most.
