Our dark beer is brewed in the style of Munich dark, known as dunkel, the original style of Bavarian villages. A beer rich in flavors from roasted malts, revealing notes of caramel, chocolate and coffee. The hops add a moderate bitterness that balance out perfectly with the mild sweetness from the malt.

On tap at Charma’s kiosk, Athens Craft Beer Expo. Pours dark, almost opaque brown with rich creamy brown head, medium body, slightly thin texture, good carbonation, fair lacing. Roasted malts, burnt brown sugar, some spices like nutmeg on the nose, coffee, hints of caramel and chocolate. Medium bitterness, dry finish, bitter aftertaste. A good example of dunkel, and a rare chance to taste Charma beer on tap. Good people brew good beer. Cheers, lads!

Only available draft when I had it, tried it from a day old hand bottle (by the brewmaster). Too bad that the Charma beers are not distributed outside Crete, as their actually very good for their style. thsi is a fine crafted dunkel with a reat aroma and taste of sweet malt, coffee,caramel and some roasted notes. Lovely.
