Brewer: Ayinger (Aying, Germany)
Beer: Altbairisch Dunkel
Style: Dunkel
abv: 5%
Background: From a bottle at The Bavarian Inn in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. Served cold in a quasi-wheat beer glass.
Appearance: Pours dark brown with a creamy light brown head. Medium lacing.
Aroma: Light aroma of dark malts—caramel, chocolate, and coffee.
Flavor: Matches the aroma, but with added dark fruits.
Notes: Very subtle. Not a beer that blows you away, but one that is clearly well-made and true to its style. Went well with wiener schnitzel and cabbage. I found the carbonation excessive.
Rating: 3.4 out of 5

Today being my birthday and all, I'm assuming you cleverly planned to drink a beer that very closely resembled my personality. Well done my friend, as you have succeeded. Not only does the above statement fit to a tee, but I too go extremely well with wiener schnitzel and cabbage.
Uh..."going well with wiener schnitzel" could mean many things, most of which I'd rather not consider.
Cabbage even moreso!
