Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu

Dunkel·Germany·5.2% ABV·One of 143 Dunkels in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Spaten München Dunkel's caramel and nutty character. Spaten's Munich dark lager is poured on draught in Bavarian inns and exported to the United States as Spaten Dunkel. It pours a clear medium brown with an ivory to tan head. Toasted malt and caramel shape the nose, joined by bread and a faint note of dried plum. The palate is mildly sweet with nutty, lightly chocolatey malt and a soft body, ending in a short, dry finish with little hop bitterness.
