Name: Professor’s Dunkels
Origin: Vienna, Austria
Style: Dunkel (Marzen)
Appearance: I got to sample this beauty of a beer while on one of Vienna’s university campuses. This dunkel is a red-brown color, very similar to Dr. Pepper. It was served with a small head that dissipated within a few minutes
Taste: Fruity, cherries or maybe even Nibs came to mind when I smelled it. The beer was incredibly rich, with strong fruity flavours. Like its odour it reminded me slightly of Dr.Pepper, without tasting like a soda. Finishes with a light bitterness.
Mouth Feel: Creamy and not overly filling, this was a very easy drinking beer. The bitter, fruity aftertaste is also enjoyable.
Final Thoughts (4 out of 5): Rich and unique tasting, an enjoyable mix of flavours this was another winner on the Germany trip. Awesome aftertaste!
