Pours very dark brown. Decent, noticable creamy, slightly off-white colored head. Higher than average stability. Scent is very refined. mild dark malts ( dark bread, notes of chocolate) not roasty though. More hoppy than average for the style. Not as powerfull on the breadyness as I've enjoyed in other samples. Taste is indeed a touch more bitter than i'm used to in the style. Fairly creamy, tad dark malts. Medium to medium high carbo. medium thinbodied. Slight roasty finish. And just by this point I realize the beer is not a Dunkel, but just called Dunkel (dark) for it's color. Indeed, as a sweet stout, it makes far more sence, even though it's not as roasty as I would have though in that category. It truly, before knowing the actual style, reminded me more of an English old Ale I've had past year in the UK. Slightly metallic aftertaste (just a hint) . very decent beer, but too bad it's not a dunkel, as I was lookin' forward to one.

Sampled from 0.33 l bottle. Hazy, brown with an off-white head. Sweetish, malty, slightly roasty and a little fruity aroma of caramel, cocoa and a touch of dark fruits. Gently sweet, malty, quite roasty and a little fruity taste of caramel, cocoa, coffee and some dark fruits, followed by a short, gently roasty-bitter finish. Medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay!
