🌍 Germany · Dunkel · One of 49 Dunkels in hopIQ

A bottom-fermented Bavarian Dunkel built on deeply kilned malt from the brewery's own organic maltings. It pours a velvety chestnut brown with a cream-coloured head. The aroma is led by caramel and dark chocolate, backed by toasted bread crust and a light nuttiness. On the palate it is soft and intensely malty, slightly sweet, with brown sugar and a trace of dark fruit, while a restrained hop bitterness keeps the finish mild and gently dry. Original gravity is 12.5 °Plato. In the United States the beer has been sold as Organic Premium Bavarian Dunkel.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Bio Dunkel

◎ Appearance

A velvety chestnut brown pour with excellent clarity and a stable cream-coloured head. The dense foam clings to the glass with fine adhesion, leaving a continuous ring of lacing as the beer is consumed. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, contributing to a refined visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose is led by caramel and dark chocolate notes, supported by toasted bread crust and a subtle nuttiness that emerges on closer inspection. These deeply kilned malt aromas are clean and well-defined, with no sharp or grainy character. The hop contribution remains restrained, allowing the malt complexity to dominate without any harsh or vegetal undertones.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and intensely malty, with a pronounced sweetness built on brown sugar and a trace of dark fruit that adds depth without dominating. The mid-palate is smooth and full-bodied, with the organic malt providing a rounded, satisfying character. A restrained hop bitterness emerges in the mid-to-late palate, providing structural balance without assertiveness.
