Tasting notes
- Aroma
- Hints of toffee and roasted malt. A tiny bit of Munich malt character.
- Appearance
- Ruby color and clear. Large head that slowly dissipates. Some carbonation can be seen rising to the top.
- Flavor
- Nice caramel (munich malt) flavor with a slightly floral hop flavor. Definitely balanced to the malt side. The caramel, with a slight bit of bitterness lingers for several minutes. There is a slightly sweet underlying flavor and some smoke is buried deep within and more noticeable as the beer warms up.
- Mouthfeel
- Medium mouthfeel with a nice carbonic bite. No diacetyl.
- Overall
- I love this beer. I'm not always in the mood for dunkel, but I could drink this beer all the time. Not quite on my desert island beer list, but in the top 20 for sure.
From the website:
A traditional Bavarian dark lager, brewed exclusively with dark and roasted malts, without the use of dark beer syrup and light malt. Very light on the palate with a hint of cognac and smoke.
