Tegernseer Dunkel Export

Tap to rate

A traditional Bavarian dark export lager from Tegernsee — Munich malt gives the caramel-bread depth, dark fruit hints from a long cool fermentation, and the lager yeast keeps the finish clean rather than heavy. 5.0% and 22 IBU — the classic Wittelsbach dunkel recipe.
