First brewed by the Benedictine monks in the mid 12th century, Dunkel beers were further enhanced by the 1516 Reinheitsgebot which decreed that beer could be made only from barley, hops, and water. The style has continued its evolution over the last 200 years. Our modern version is highly sessionable and delivers a deep, full Munich malt character with only slight bitterness, making it the perfect cold weather companion. When the nights are chilly or you want a full-bodied beer for the game, you can’t miss with a Slam Dunkel!

Can from liquor store next to Outer Range Brewing. Poured into stein at home a few weeks later. Drinkable with nice dunkel breadiness.

This was a pretty good beer, but I thought it was just a basic brown rather than a dunkel. Subtle difference I guess, but the dunkel is just a bit less sweet to me. I thought it might be a bit higher alcohol as well, but 5.5% makes it very drinkable.

Warm and dark garnet hued body; decent head, not too thick but lasting; spidery fingers of lacing stick to the glass. Inviting smell of warm brown bread crust; deeply toasted grains and a smidgen of roasted coffee. The taste also reverberates with rich and subtle toffee, charred sugar; barest touch of hop bitterness; a touch of alcohol. Medium-heavy body; velvety and warm on the palate; plenty of residual sugar; dull sweetness throughout; sticky.

TIvoli's 'Grand Slam' presents a wonderful dark lager. I'd consider it more of Munich Dunkel than a dunkle bock beer (if only for the relatively low ABV and more inline with the BJCP 2015 and current BA style description guidelines), but whatever the classification, there is no denying the incredible malty and rich flavors to be found within its liquid boundaries. Roasty, nutty, and very satisfying.
