Dunkel Lager

◎ Aussehen

A deep copper hue with excellent clarity and a dense, persistent head that adheres well to the glass. The carbonation is moderate and even, typical of a traditionally lagered beer. The color suggests the depth of the Munich malt base and the controlled caramelization from the decoction mash.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with warm, toasted grain notes and a subtle biscuity that speaks to the 100% Munich malt bill. Gentle caramel undertones emerge without any sharp or roasted character, while the extended lagering has polished the yeast signature to near invisibility. A clean, malt-forward presentation with no hop harshness.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with rich, smooth maltiness that unfolds into bready, slightly toasted flavors characteristic of the Munich base. The 22 IBU provide gentle balance without assertiveness, allowing the malt complexity—enhanced by the decoction process—to remain the primary focus. The body sits comfortably full without heaviness, finishing clean and dry.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and lingering, with toasted grain notes fading gradually into a subtle caramel sweetness. The extended lagering phase leaves no harsh edges, only a refined and polished aftertaste.
