🌍 Germany · Dunkel · One of 31 Dunkels in hopIQ

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.

The full-bodied character develops smoothly with a creamy mouthfeel and balanced, understated bitterness that never dominates. The clean finish leaves no harsh edges, maintaining the beer's elegant and approachable character.
