500 ml swingtop bottle, bought in Bier Spezi Hamburg. Reddish brown colour, large off-white head. Malty aroma with notes of caramel and bakery, some fruity hops too. Malty flavour with caramel and bready notes, not very sweet, spicy and fairly hoppy bitter finish. Dusty aftertaste. Okay.

Nice dark beer with a bitter edge. More bitter than your average dunkel. Pours dark brown with above average fluffy beige head. Aroma is coffee, roast grains, burnt toast. chocolate. Taste leans toward the chocolate and roast grain with some sharp bitterness at the finish.

Pours an amber-brown color, with a huge, spongy and fizzy head.

Smells of coppery wheat, with a nice lactic tartness to it. Matured, grassy hops are recognizable, mingling perfectly into the whole grain bread foundation of the beer.

Has a lively, yet soft carbonation to it, showcasing the beers refreshing malt smoothness in an easy drinkable fashion.

Tastes of toffee malts from the beginning, with a slightly metallic carbonation adding a coppery quality amongst a bright breadiness. Malts turn more toffeeish while getting perfectly balanced by the bread, together with a pleasant mix of tartness and hop bitterness, both complimenting the beers malt characteristic. Finishes clean with a malt beer reminiscence and bubbly carbonation wrapping up the toffee.

Drinks refreshing and light with a great, convincing, multi layered breadiness to it. Very convincing for my palate, without turning overly sweet, due to its rich bread profile.

A - nice head, a dark ruby color when held up to the light and slightly more brown when in average room light.

S - Fairly strong aroma, predominately cereal and hops with a hint of sweeter malts. Very little else besides this.

T - Initial taste mostly cereal and malt but quickly digresses into a watery void with a hint of malt. The end has a very bitter and unnatural aftertaste.

M - Like the taste, very watery; for a dunkel there is very little substance here.

O - very weak; would not recommend this beer. 2 and half is quite generous here.

.5L bottle served in a stone beer Krug.

A- Clear Amber/Brown served in a glass beer mug.

S- Toasted malt, cereal grains and hops.

T- Lightly toasted malts, slightly watered down for a Dunkels beer. Good tasted but very light, mellow light hops.

M- Mild boy, medium carbonation.

D- Decent beer, but light for a Dunkels.

.5L, Germany, best by 4/11.

Pours a wonderfully clear, rosy amber. Decent one-finger head, nice retention and lacing.

Aroma has some vague toasted malts and the slightest hint of toffee.

Flavor is malty and lager-like, but there is a pervading metallic note, unfortunately. A little bit tangy, with a sturdy bitterness, earthy hoppiness, and well-toasted maltiness, all of which help redeem the beer following its negative first impression. Mouthfeel has some decently effervescent carbonation, but sits chalky and rough on the tongue.

As a dunkel lager, this stuff is okay. I'll finish the bottle.

.5Liter flip top bottle (purchased 2 for the review) 5.5abv 240kcal per .5L OG is advertised at 13% by brewery.
Batch# 16 L295M4 J

Both bottles were poured into 2 types of glass. For the 1st bottle, into a .3l pils glass. 1st Bottle had black mold on the washer, but no spores in contact with product. Suggest a foamy fob at bottling. Tough to accomplish with these flip tops as it is... The 2nd was poured into a hefeweizen glass, bottle was clean.

A: on the 1st & 2nd was a tan head & highly carbonated with a 2.5 finger head that had little retention. Foam collapse was immediate. In the Hefe glass, the pour had the appearance to a Cola. Large bubble release at first, with consistent bubble release throughout the consumption over many minutes.

S: Bready to almost meaty aroma. Especially on the second pour. No sulfur note. No diacytl note.

T: Malty with some sugar & carmel flavour. Very very little soap tastes as reported by others.

M: Slightly thin with a dry finish starting from the roof of the mouth.

D: It is a fair Dunkel. I can say that I tried it...
