Munich Dark

◎ Appearance

Deep brown with mahogany highlights, perfectly clear and bright. A modest, off-white head settles quickly, leaving fine lacing down the glass. Carbonation is gentle and unobtrusive, appropriate to the lager's refined character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft caramel and dark Malz notes, grounded and approachable rather than heavy. Mount Hood hops contribute a delicate noble-hop character—earthy and mildly herbaceous in the background. A clean, slightly bready undertone rounds out the profile without any harsh or astringent edges.

◐ Taste

Malty sweetness dominates the entry, built on a foundation of caramel and roasted grain. The mid-palate remains smooth and light despite the beer's color, with the bitterness (28 IBU) arriving as a dry, graceful counterpoint rather than a sharp punch. Bready, malt-forward character carries through with no cloying residue.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and clean, with the caramel sweetness fading quickly into a subtle noble-hop bitterness. Aftertaste remains brief and refreshing, leaving the palate ready for another sip.
