Blind-tasted except for the beer's name and brewery/country, zero reviews below read (yet!)...
L- Dark chestnut, clear, pours with 1Cm tan head. Forms mega-lacing on the way down.
S- Malty.
T- Malty again! Much maltier than most Bavarian lagers.
F- Good for Autumn/Spring and slower sipping.
O- Is this new? I've not seen it before despite living in Germany. Very pleasant and easy drinking.
Review2010/scoring all done, now the reveal, I get to read the lables to see what I missed!
500ml bottle £3 BB: 12/2021 Bought from TremblingMadness, York/UK as part of a large pick-your own consignment to London.

First stop on a tasting of Munich based Dunkel beer. From a bottle.
Look: fairly light, against the light it is a dark amber, think dark maple syrup. Not much to write home about in terms of head.
Smell: toasty, not particularly strong, roast pork, faint spice.
Taste: subtle dark malt, warm but not oppressively thick, deep without smacking you in the face, finishes with a nice crispness
Mouthfeel: light not thick, nothing to chew through
Overall: one of my favorite Dunkel beers. As my german girlfriend said of the beer, sehr schön. Nice and deep in flavor but not overly heavy. Definitely will drink again. Perfect for the winter when stuck inside amidst the snow.

Dark amber color with beige head. Aroma has caramelized malt, burnt sugar and some raisin notes. Taste has bready malts, a bit of brown sugar sweetness at first but gets quickly balanced by some earthy bitterness and roasted malt astringency. Medium body and carbonation. Decent dunkel with pretty good drinkability.
