Sagres Preta

Sagres
Portugal·Munich Dunkel
Tap to rate

A dark beer presenting an intense flavour across the palate. The pour yields a thick, sandy-coloured head that crowns the glass. On the nose and palate, roasted malt dominates—notes of coffee, dark chocolate, and toast emerge distinctly. At 4.1% ABV, it drinks lighter than its appearance suggests, with the roasted character providing warmth in the finish rather than heaviness.
