I was reminded how good this beer is on a resent trip to Holland, I had it on draught at the wonderful 'Potshuiske' on the banks of the river Mass in Masstricht. I obtained a bottle to review because of that.

Brown 33cl bottle,best before Oct 2007, drank Sept 2007.

Poured into a Veltins Pilsner glass.

The beer is an dull old gold, dark lager colour, very clear but not sparkling as such. A white well formed head soon dissipates leaving a thin scattering of wispy twirls.

The aroma is not this beers strong point, malty smell, but like its close beer brother the pilsner, there is no powerful wiff to it.

The taste is where it comes into its own. A lovely mix of sweetness, maltiness and bitterness. It is a fine tasting beer.

This beer has a body to it, the character of the flavours hang around, the aftertaste is a strong and wholesome as the first sip.

A very nice drink and one I will look out for again. I have had beers from Dortmund but don't remember them being so interesting as this Dort is. Maybe they were Pilsners and not Dorts.

Crystal clear filtered gold with red hues, medium white foam, coarse bubbles

Noble hops aroma and caramell malt, dark bread, no metal which I usually get with those malts

Lager twang in the beginning with very pleasant malt body caries through, again no metal, bitterness just to balance the malt

Enough carbonation to lift the medium body, smooth, warming

A quite interesting beer. A lager with 7% alcohol and I do not even taste it (though it warms). Nice malty exeperience without beeing sweet. Guess this would be a great to balance spicy food.

Bottle of 300 ml at home. My first beer of the Dortmunder style.
Colour is of copper, with two fingers white head, quickly gone, leaving some lacing around the glass.
Hops on the aroma, caramel and some faint smell of alcohol.
Taste is sweet, with some caramel and roasted malts traces. The 7% alcohol is like it's not even there.On the body feels thick and it has an average amount of carbonation.
Overall, a nice experience, it was like I was drinking one of the Mei/Lente (spring) bocks but with the high alcohol not being so obviously present.

Gulpener's Dort was a great find. It is truly a craft beer by any measure!

It has a caramel brown appearance that appears heavy....but once tasted you will find this elixir to be sweet, smooth and very sessionable. It has a flavorful malt taste that starts pleasantly and finishes even better.

This is a style that is lacking on the American beer landscape....and I doubt....nay,... challenge it to be done better!
