Guidobald Export Dunkel

Tap to rate
🌍 Germany · Dunkel · One of 71 Dunkels in hopIQ

The dark counterpart in the Guidobald pair, brewed from pale, dark, caramel and roasted malts with Spalter hops at an original gravity of 12.9 °P. It is deep brown and full-bodied. Toasted flavours lead the way: well-baked bread crust, coffee and bitter chocolate, with a sweetish toffee note and some nuttiness underneath. The grain character is strong, yet the beer does not turn sweet, and a tart, roasty bitterness closes it. Hop aroma stays in the background.

Tasting Notes

◎ Appearance

Deep brown in color with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent head that clings to the glass as it recedes. The beer presents a dense, creamy foam that speaks to its full-bodied character and proper carbonation level.

deep brownclearcreamy head retention

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with toasted grain and well-developed malt complexity. Prominent notes of fresh bread crust and roasted coffee emerge clearly, with subtle hints of bitter chocolate and walnut beneath. Spalter hops remain discretely in the background, providing only a light, herbal restraint.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and grainy, with the toasted character immediately apparent on the palate. Mid-palate reveals toffee sweetness balanced against roasted bitterness, alongside a nutty undertone that keeps the beer grounded. The finish is dry and roasty, with a tart bitterness that prevents any cloying sensation despite the malt's apparent sweetness.
