Good dunkel. Dark amber color with a medium-sized head. Coffee and a malt in the aroma. Taste of caramel, chocolate, and some hoppy/roasted bitterness in the finish.

Poured from the bottle into a pokal glass.
Real nice and creamy eggshell like head, with a color that's khaki and a very neat reddish yellow color. Settles slowly from a good three finger height, even keeping some island retention. Dark mahogany body, red hinted edges with some clarity up through the beer. Real nice looking brew.
Decent aroma. Some light touch of mineral, faint sticky caramel, but there's a little bit of cheap soy sauce on this as well. Hopefully that last aroma is not a prevalent flavor of things to come.
Nice light bodied brew on first sip. Mid palate hits a little wet, but I'll take it for easy lager angles. Nice dark malts in the mid palate, hits some light milk chocolate with some faint hints of brown bread toast. Clean finish, touches even a little fruited raisin as well.
Nice drinking simple dark lager.

Dark reddish brown color, bright clarity, ample foam and spotty lace.
Aroma is vaguely sweet caramel, slightly musty.
Taste is more grainy, mild toast, light caramel.
Mealy texture, a little slick on the palate.
Could be a lot more crisp and dry. Light carb, medium bodied.
Overall it’s a little below average but not bad.

Dark amber color, medium carbonation, dense long-lasting off-white head. Very imposing appearance.
Smell malty, very rich, with hints of dark candy, bitter chocolate and berries.
Taste not so rich, but not disappointing in any way. Sweet malts and caramel well balanced by jolly hops. Body medium, rounded. Mouthfeel OK but such a brew could be more intense, i. e. of higher gravity.
Finish hoppy, aftertaste bittersweet, crying for more.
