hopIQ found 10 beers with the same malty and toasty character as Augustiner Dunkel. The Dunkel is Augustiner's traditional dark lager in the old Munich manner, malt-driven and spicy rather than heavy. Its colour recalls chestnuts. Mild roasted aromas with light notes of caramel and cocoa show already on the nose. The body is shaped by malt, bread crust and coffee flavours and kept lively by a pleasant spritz. A fine roasted bitterness rounds the beer off in the finish, where the sweetness recedes and a dry, toasty note remains. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
