Our take on a Munich Dunkel Lager naturally uses a grist of nearly 100% German dark Munich malt, with a dash of chocolate malt. The result is a deep amber colored dark lager exhibiting aromas of toasted breads and roasted plums, layered with subtle notes of chocolate and toffee. Using traditional German hops that bring just enough bitterness for balance, while maintaining a barely dry, crisp finish. PROST!

Poured from the can into a Pokal style glass.

Copper to rust brown colored body, with a little bit of clarity. Fluffy topped three finger khaki and nearly white colored head, with soft retention and slow settling.

Clean sensing aroma with classic light touches of milk chocolate, pine to earthy/spicy hop, and a very faint yeast ester that almost hints of banana. Later exploration shows more brown bread qualities and almost molasses flavors too.

Solid palate. A good mix of balanced and simple flavors. Toasty notes of brown bread, almost crusty, with a good herbal and earthy hop push. Finishes with more of a milk chocolate sweetness, and hinting herbal crispness. Body character has a little touch of playful fizz, but nothing excessive or jaring.

Pretty solid dunkel, nothing massively impressive, but can't complain much about anything here either.

Clear copper appearance with a large tan head and light lacing. Aroma of caramel malts dotted with walnuts. Taste stays preoccupied with the malts that yield notes of toasted bread, toffee and nuts. Floral hops more apparent near the finish. Earthy, moderately carbonated, medium bodied mouthfeel.
