Tap @ Melkebaren. Clear amner body under a dense off-white head. Aroma has malt, toffee and bread. Taste is sweet malt, mild toffee, bread and some bitterness. Medium body and average aftertaste. Decent.

Dark brown colour, uneven off-white head. Aroma's of toasted malts, light hopbitter. Flavour is light sweet and light bitter. Light bodied. Finishes moderate bitter. Perhaps not really authentic, but nice anyway.

On tap at Cafe Sara. Deep dark brownish body, patchy surface, laces fine. Roasted malty aromas, with scent of caramel. Caramel malty flavours, supported by bread, and ripe fruity notes. Nice roasted bitter tail. Fine partner to my mixed grill dish. (Oslo 28.11.2022).

The old Münchener Dunkel, the world’s oldest Lager style (by far), as interpreted by London superstar The Kernel; sampled at BCBF. Off-white, moussy, thinning but generally stable head, clear bronze-brown robe with amberish tinge. Aroma of damp tree leaves, wet toast, hard caramel, rainwater, breakfast cereals, tea bags. Clean onset, medium carbonation, smooth and supple peanutty, ‘unsweet’-caramelly and slightly toasty malts graced with herbal, bit tea-ish hop bitterishness in the finish – a bitterness remaining well in balance with the nutty, toasty character of the malts. Decent for sure, simple as expected (structurally speaking), but effective and enjoyable, though far from the best Dunkel I had to date – I do not believe classic German Lager styles are Kernel’s forte…
