Dunkel Lager
Idletyme Brewing Company

 

 

 

 

 

Slightly hazy brown, no head. Very nice roasty chocolate note in the nose. The flavor is a little more lackluster, but still some nice melanoidin and chocolate notes. Finish is crisp. Overall a good beer.

 

On tap at the brewery. Syd got the spelt milk stout and it was kinda weak. Played cards and just felt a different style beer. Enjoyable amberish.

Had on tap. Pours somewhat clear amber with a white ring. Light brown bread, roasted nuts and caramel make up the delicate nose. Taste is nutty first with slight roast, bread next, finishing with hints of cocoa and leafy hops. Body starts malty and smooth but gets watery and weak by the finish.

 

On tap at Shelburne Tap House. This was poured into a pint glass. The appearance was a hazy burnt orange almost brown color with a bar pour’s kind of slim white head that dissipated immediately. No lacing. The smell had some sweet bready to roasty nutty character to the front end and as it warmed up more yeasty to caramel and toffee malts showed their presence. The taste was mainly sweet throughout the beer. Light sweet bready to roasty nutty character runs into the aftertaste. Smooth wet finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light and smooth. Delicate caramel malt sticks to my tongue, not cloying. Overall, I say this was a pretty good dunkel lager. I could see myself having it again.
