Graf Stolberg Dunkel

Westheimer
Germany·Dunkel
Tap to rate

Mahogany in the glass under a pearly, fine-pored head: the nose is roasty and sweetish, lightly caramelly, with a hint of berries. The taste stays pronouncedly roasty with fine malt sweetness, a round, intense body and a noble bitterness of fresh aroma hops. 4.8% ABV. A bottom-fermented dark beer first brewed in 1882 lives on in its recipe.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced roasted grain and gentle caramel sweetness, inviting and warm. Subtle berry notes emerge beneath the malt foundation, while fresh aroma hops add a dignified herbal backdrop without dominating. The overall impression is balanced and lightly grainy.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with robust roasted malt flavor and round, malty sweetness that fills the mouth completely. A noble bitterness from fresh aroma hops cuts through with precision, neither aggressive nor faint, while the full body carries the flavors through to the swallow. Clean malt character persists without any harsh edges.
