Deep garnet red with wonderful clarity. The smoothed lightly tanned froth above indicates barrel influence. This beer looks warm, unpretentious and inviting.
Caramel and oak compete for supremacy, although that supremacy is lazy and docile. Herbal and floral tradition is expressed in the finish.
An unexpected surprise in the flavor. Apples both tart green and red sweet are blended and coated in that caramel with just a touch of spice, dried oak, and an ever so soured red grape. All of this is encapsulated by an even keeled bready base.
Light and crisp with a smooth and ever so slightly tart finish. This beer is increasingly easy to drink as it warms.
Somehow, this beer transports me to a perceived historic past. I can see this being the origin of the Dunkel Lager. Oak influence, slightly tart, easy to drink. The epitome of a night time session beer in the frigid old country nights.
Prost.
