This Munich Dunkel presents a rich tapestry of deep toasted bread crust and gentle chocolate, courtesy of German Crystal Munich and debittered Black malts. The use of floor-malted German Pilsner Malt provides a solid, crackery foundation, while German Saaz hops offer a delicate herbal and spicy counterpoint. Following an extended lagering period, the profile is exceptionally clean and smooth. The palate is defined by a soft malt richness that avoids cloying sweetness, finishing with a refined, medium-dry crispness that highlights the collaboration's focus on traditional lager techniques and high-quality European ingredients.
Appearance.Deep brown with distinct garnet highlights; pours with a creamy, persistent light tan head and excellent clarity.
Aroma.Moderate to high malt richness characterized by toasted bread crusts and hints of milk chocolate. A low but elegant spicy and floral hop aroma from the German Saaz is present, supported by a clean fermentation profile devoid of esters.
Taste.Initial impression is rich and malty with flavors of toasted grain and cocoa. The German Saaz provides a low spicy hop flavor and a medium-low bitterness that ensures a malty balance without being cloying. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering toasted malt aftertaste, free of any burnt or harsh roasted qualities.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly dextrinous texture. Moderate carbonation and a clean lager character provide a soft mouthfeel with no alcohol warmth or astringency.
