🌍 Germany · Dunkel · One of 44 Dunkels in hopIQ

Onyx is the dark beer of the house, listed in the core range beside the Helles and the Lager and poured in the inn. The brewery publishes no tasting notes. What the style and its dark malt bill give is a chestnut to near-black pour, bread crust and caramel in the nose, a light roast edge and a soft, malt-led palate with low bitterness. The name has only recently joined the printed range.
