🌍 Germany · Dunkel · One of 44 Dunkels in hopIQ

Knoblach Weihnachtsfestbier is the brewery's dark Christmas lager, on tap from early December and brewed to 13 °P original gravity for 5.6 % ABV. It pours the colour of freshly brewed coffee beneath a thin, honey-tinted head. Roast, caramel, toasted nuts and fine chocolate fill the nose. The palate follows with roasted malt, raisins, burnt almonds, fresh bread and toffee on a smooth, silky body that carries the malt without turning heavy.
