Sly Fox Dunkel Lager
Another one from the Woodman, fresh from the CANquest.
Sly Fox Dunkel Lager.
"A traditional Bavarian style Dark Lager, made with Munich, Pils, and German Roast malts, and a variety of Bavarian hops. OG 13 Plato, 21 IBUs, 5.3% by Vol."
In an Einbecker Dunkel glass, because why not, that's why.
And I love the dunkels, so I'm looking forward to this one.
Clear, caramel brown body, slim beige head, gets tight, but stays strong.
Aroma: clean and malty, caramel and toffee, light hops, sweet, rich and getting richer.
Taste: very tidy, minimal hops, good blend of cocoa, caramel and toffee in the malty flavor. Even-tempered, well-balanced, medium-bodied, expertly drinkable. A little mineral, metallic feel, flinty, maybe, but overall a nice, if unimpressive dunkel.
And what's wrong with that, I'd like to know.
