The recipe produces a very nice malty profile dunkel. The use of almost all Munich Dark is what I was looking for in this style of beer. I also think that by using the Carafa (German Chocolate) instead of regular chocolate makes a big difference. This is the closest to the real thing that I've prodcued and will not change anything on this recipe the next time I brew it. Cheers!
