UPDATED: APR 13, 2021 Can pours dark brown with rocky head and lots of lacing. Malty, smoky, toffee, wheat bread aroma. Taste is classic Czech tmavy malty and sweet bread with dry noble hops, the caramelized malt from the stoning is present too. Way cool to try out this classic styleand the result is very tasty.

UPDATED: JUN 18, 2019 Bottle shared with the group, from notes. Pours a dark amber brown color with a medium sized off white head. The aroma and flavor have toasted malts, dark fruits, stone fruit, caramel, light smoke, earthy and herbal hops, good for style.

Draft. Not much aroma. Beautiful rich Ruby brown color with a surprising amount of lace. I don’t taste any dunkel here, but there are lots of schwarzbier notes: Chocolate, espresso, plus some wood and plum. Awesome.

Roast and light hint of oak. Comes off a little sour. Perhaps something off with the lines at Birch and Barley. Id say it’s good but not really a dunkel. Light tangy finish. Tap.

4 oz pour on draft at ChurchKey. Dark brownish black with beige head. Aromas of grains, slight dark fruit. Tastes of dark fruit, grains, raisins. Light body with a dry finish. Nice dunkel.

Deep garnet with a beige and voluminously foamy head which lasts well and gives the beer a lighter feeling. Aroma is caramelised toffee, with maybe a slightly nutty backdrop which almost exactly mimics the taste. A slight amount of bitterness to counteract the sweet caramel taste and a perfectly gauged mouthfeel to complement both the level of carbonation and the ABV. A very easy drinking and (relatively) low ABV beer to enjoy all night. Nothing spectacular but sometimes you just fancy a very well executed and balanced low ABV beer and at this Hot Rocks excels.

I didn't take any extra notes when I tried this beer for the first time but I'm gonna try it again and update my comments. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Le nez est ferreux, hyper caramélisé et cendré avec des signaux de fumée. Je suis complètement pris par surprise par celle-là, on croirait un decoction mash. Les minéraux sont vraiment palpable, comme boire une bière flitrée par un bloc de granite. Buvabilité volcanique sans équivoque.

Bottle, courtesy of Mr Gretton. Dark red brown with a large pillowing foam. Aromas are cookie dough malts with nutty cocoa powder and light coffee. Yeasty with hints of cherry cola. Bready yeast with raisins and a woody, mineral character. Flavours are toasted dark toffee malts with earthy, nutty notes. Raisin fruitiness with dark cherries and chocolate. Nutty and roasted on the finish. Good.
