Product Highlights

Germany- Munich Dunkel Lager- 5.5% ABV. The cream-colored, frothy head is a nice contrast to the dark red-brown colour of the beer. The nose detects a robust malt scent with subtle undertones of a slightly caramel touch. A malted sweetness is noted when first sampling.

OVERVIEW

Ranging from medium to dark brown in color, with a creamy head, Munich Dunkel Lager features prominent malty aromas and flavors with only moderate hop bitterness. Classic examples of this dark lager beer use dark Munich malt and display a bready character on the nose and palate, along with mild chocolate, nut and toast notes. Malty sweetness is often perceptible, but is not cloying. Roasted malt characteristics make Munich Dunkel Lager a terrific entrée to stronger, often maltier Bock or Schwarzbier styles, which generally have a slightly roasty character.

Lagers represent some of the most approachable, easy-drinking beer styles available, which contributes to Lager’s consumption edge over ale, despite the fact that ale styles are more numerous and were consumed thousands of years before lagering and cold-aging took hold.
