Bunker

Tap to rate

A bottom-fermented schwarzbier with plenty of malt fullness and a touch of sweetness, brewed in proud German tradition. The many bunkers along the west coast are relics of the Second World War, and the beer is tied to them by its name. The Germans built them as part of the Atlantic Wall, to protect against an Allied invasion. Only water, barley malt, hops and yeast go into the brew.

Pronounced malt character leads, with notes of toasted grain and subtle coffee emerging in the mid-range. Noble hops provide a restrained herbal backdrop without dominating, while a faint sweetness from the malt bill adds gentle complexity to the bouquet.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with rich, full-bodied malt sweetness that coats the mouth smoothly without heaviness. Roasted and coffee-like flavors develop in the mid-palate, with a clean, balanced bitterness arriving late to frame the finish. The overall impression is elegant and drinking-friendly, with all elements in proportion.
