Landgang Wolpertinger

Landgang Brauerei
Germany·Dunkel
Tap to rate

Hamburg's Landgang Brauerei brings the Dunkel into the craft era with Wolpertinger—named after a mythical Bavarian creature, this dark lager is anything but whimsical. 5% and restrained at 23 IBU, it's roasted malt, caramel, and a smooth finish that feels more Munich than Hamburg. Full-bodied (68 points), approachable, the kind of dark beer that doesn't announce itself loudly.

The palate entry is smooth and malty with prominent bread-like notes and roasted grain flavors. Mid-palate shows pleasant caramel sweetness balanced by light herbal bitterness (22 IBU). The medium body carries all flavors gracefully without heaviness, maintaining excellent drinkability throughout.
