Pours a clear, deep mahogany coloration, with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of roasted, bready and slightly caramelly malt, herbal, spicy hops and just a hint of coffee. Taste is a good balance of bready, roasted and slightly caramelly malt and grassy, herbal, slightly spicy hops, with accents of dark fruit; raisin, fig as well as hints of chocolate and coffee. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some bready, roasted malt, herbal hops and hints of dark fruit and chocolate lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
I think this makes for a very nice, and somewhat underrated, Dark Lager that perhaps suffers slightly from having been mislabeled as a Munich Dunkel, while feeling almost closer to a Schwartzbier with its slightly roasted malts and accents of choclate and coffee, balanced very nicely against herbal, spicy and bitter hops. There's a certain caramel sweetness to this as well, which is reigned in by those slightly roasted and bitter notes very nicely though. Still drinks quite easily despite a certain depth of character, kinda feeling complex and mild at the same time.

The labelling hasn't changed at all from the 12YO photo^, that's trad German for you.
Blind-tasted except for the beer's name and brewery/country, zero reviews below read (yet!)...
L- Deep chestnut brown, pours clear with a 3mm pale tan head.
S- I just get some mild malts.
T- Despite being a darker beer it has a mild flavour, again just mild malts and some hops into the finish.
F- Sessionable. CO2 in the mouth is good.
O- Unexpected that I found so little to say about a beer, it's pleasant but nothing in particular stands out at all.
Review/scoring all done, now the reveal, I get to read the lables to see what I missed!

Poured from a 1pt 9oz swing top bottle with best before of 10.05.21 into a Kozel mug that I brought back from Prague many years ago. Pours smoothly with a good head that shrinks quickly, but leaves nice lacing throughout the entire drinking experience. The smell takes me back to some of the best German and Czech dunkels I've had and the smell seems to make the taste really shine with each sip. Taste is earthy and smooth with a clean finish. Very session-able on the palate and at 5.3 ABV I could have a few boots of these. Each sip gets progressively better and better and smoother and smoother...

this is a standout for me, one of the best examples of the style i have ever had, wonderful from the tap down at jakes brew bar in littleton. its deep red, pushing brown in color, with a nice frothy and airy tan head, looks great in the glass. awesome nose of old world german lager yeast, toasted multi-grain bread, a little caramel, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, and the dusty german malt i like so much in this kind of style. all the same in the taste, a little banana and pear fruitiness to it, oddly light for its color, delicate and nuanced, complex even, especially for the style. less sweet than others, more yeast flavor, deeply toasted on the grain, maybe a shade richer than others, but incredible drinkable with a rather light body, surging carbonation, and a pleasant lingering german grain flavor on the tongue after the swallow. honey roasted almonds come to mind, buttered toast, raisin, its awesome. feels healthy to drink this even. a lot of the german stuff doesnt get enough love, and i would put this near the top of the list. one of the best dunkels i have had in awhile.
