A good friend of mine just returned from a month long trip to Germany, Czech Republic, and Romania. He brought back some beers and this is the first I have opened up. Judging from BeerAdvocate it can be found in the US, but I have not seen it around here (too bad).
It came in a nice .5l flip top bottle, and as you can see from the picture, poured a very opaque chestnut brown with a creamy head (the traces of head left in the picture lasted through out the entire glass). As soon as the pour started I could smell bread, honey, banana and a bit of cloves; no hop aroma at all. The mouth feel was creamy (not quite chewy). The flavor was of rich honey wheat bread with banana, cloves and nutmeg; slightly sweet with a slight hop bitterness left on the tongue with the spice flavors. Despite the richness it had a surprisingly clean finish, not really dry, but not sweet either.
I really need to find where I can get this dunkel in the US. It was really top notch and I could have gladly had three or four this afternoon while watching football. Thanks again to my friend, Dustin, for bringing this one back.
