I’ll keep this post rather short I don’t have much to say about this beer.  Simply put, Warsteiner Dunkel is one the worst beers I’ve ever tasted.  That’s not to say it’s a bad beer; I’m sure it appeals to some.  I, however, found it to be rather awful.

Appearance= 4
I have to give credit where credit is due; Warsteiner Dunkel looks great.  It has a rich, dark brown color and at least three fingers of head.  The head doesn’t last long, but does leave a decent amount of lacing on the glass.  This is where the fun stops, though, unfortunately.

Aroma= 1
This beer smells bad.  I really hope I just had a bad bottle, but I suspect that’s not the case.  To me, this beer smells like what you smell on highway when a skunk has been ran over.  That may be a harsh critique, but accurate.

Taste= 1
I was really hoping Warsteiner Dunkel would taste better than it smells, but it doesn’t.  It is thick and creamy, which isn’t a bad thing, but it tastes just as skunky as it smells.  I even let it sit for 15-20 minutes because darker beers typically taste better at warmer temperatures, but this made only a marginal difference.  I couldn’t finish it and I dumped more than half of it down the drain.  Therefore, I have to rate Warsteiner Dunkel as “undrinkable.”

Verdict= Undrinkable
