Scratch #181 represents our interpretation of a Munich Dunkel Lager (“dunkel” meaning “dark” in German). Developed in Bavaria, the Dunkel Lager is generally regarded as the world’s oldest true beer style. Keeping our German brewing heritage in mind with a nod to our exploratory nature, Scratch #181 offers a refreshing, slightly gentler take on the style. The use of Chocolate and Munich malts coupled with noble hops results in a smooth, rich, and complex lager. Combining a slightly dry chocolate note and bready sweetness with a well-rounded, crisp character, this deceptively dark beer comes without the weight of other dark beer styles such as porters and stouts. Prost!

Served on-tap at the brewery. Pours amber orange with a half finger tall white head, dissipating down to a light ring, leaving small rings of lace on the glass.
Smells of strong toasty maltiness, caramel and toffee sweetness, bit of yeast and some light nuttiness. Taste is nearly identical to the nose with the maltiness up front and the others following closely behind. Smooth, toasty feel with a touch of sweetness.
Overall a decent enough dark lager. It has some decent flavors going for it but there are better beers on right now.

Had this on 2015-04-14 at the brewery.
Decent flavor but not exciting enough to bring me back for another. I like the low ABV but Troegs has made other lower ABV brews that I've liked a lot more.
