From a 440ml can on 27/11/2025. Pours deep brown with barely any head. The nose features stewed fruit with some Belgian yeastiness. Tastes quite sweet up front, fruit again to the fore, with dates, berries and red grape, mixed in with some brown sugar. Finishes with a decent, very lightly sour bitterness. Not heard of a Munich wine before, but this presents as a very fruit forward barleywine for mine. Slightly syrupy mouthfeel with average. Pretty easy drinking for the size. Different and enjoyable.

Munichwine, huh. Can. Pretty much black, large light tan head lasts OK. Aroma of stewed fruit, bread, brown sugar, spices. Toasty with dried and stewed fruit, grape skins, decent bitterness. Perhaps not surprisingly, very Doppelbockish. The finish is drying and nicely bitter and it really keeps it drinkable. Perhaps doesn't quite justify its strength but pretty good.
