Poured from a can dated 02/09/2026 into a dimpled krug
Pours transparent dark mahogany reddish brown with two and a half fingers of off white dense head that has a good retention. Eventually leaving and some slight sticky lace as it settles.
Aroma of caramel, toasty bread crust, light notes of cocoa.
Flavors are similar, with some nuttiness joining the aforementioned notes. A hint of apple peel in the finish with mild earthy bitterness
Medium light body but on the lighter side with a low carbonation. Finishes reasonably dry, very smooth and sessionable.
Overall its a great start, I'd like to personally see a bit more character in the flavor side and a bit more body wise but I'm starting to nitpick. It's a solid dunkel style lager and one I'd revisit, especially with some brats on the grill.
