Some refer to the Dunkel style as the original bier of Munich and its surrounding villages (Dörfer). This everyday bier ranges in color and sweetness depending on the amount of Munich and roasted malts used. The sweetness of the malt is then balanced by the use of another Bavarian friend…the Hallertau hop…in this specific case, Hersbrucker, grown near Wolnzach, Hallertau.

Bottle to lager glass.
Appearance: ruddy dark amber close to brown color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated stealthily to leave some messy lace
Aroma: roasted malts, biscuity/bready, toast, earthy character, some nuttiness
Flavor: combines all the previously mentioned aromas to a sweet and roasty blend; subtle nutty malty aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied, very sessionable; roasty and nutty finish
Overall: nicely done Munich Dunkel lager well worthy of partaking in again.

Aromas are dark malt, roast and a bit of tobacco. Flavors are similar to nose. Bittersweet with decent body and carbonation. Straightforward dark beer. Nothing special but very drinkable.

16 oz plastic glass draft at the UCBC Flight Bar in the St. Louis, Missouri airport. The pour is a clear brown amber with a small off white head. The aroma is rich malty along with nuttiness and a hint of grassy earthy hop towards the back. The taste is a nice clean blend of the malty nuttiness and soft grass and earth. The palate is medium bodied with softer natural carbonation and the clean malty finish. Tasty, easy drinking Amber/Dunkel kind of thing.

16oz can from Tavour. Brown pour, clear, tan head settles to thin layer, spotty lacing. Toasty malt aroma, nutty, woody, mild sweetness. Taste is malty, cola flavors, nutty, sweet notes, then dry at the finish with the faintest hit of bitterness.

Rich and dark without being overly sweet. Presents notes of caramel, toasted bread, and grain, with hints of fruit and a modest floral bitterness on the back end. Very good.
