Paulaner Ur-Dunkel
An unfiltered dark lager brewed the old Munich way, from roughly nine parts dark Munich malt to one part pale barley malt and no colouring shortcuts. It stands mahogany brown under a mocha-coloured, finely creamy head. Hallertauer Tradition hops give a restrained noble aroma that the absence of filtration lets through clearly. The palate is full and prickling, with spicy roasted notes and an idea of dark chocolate; at 12.7 degrees Plato the residual sweetness stays fairly high while the hop never pushes forward.
