5.5% ABV. Staatsliches Hofbrauhuas, Munich, Germany.
Clear, deep mahogany hue, slim whitish head.
In the nose: caramel notes pop out first, then cola. Mostly malty, slightly sweet.
In the mouth: caramel and a touch of toffee, cola, again, and perhaps a hit of coffee. Malt-driven. Light bodied, slight hop bitterness and just enough sweetness. Drinks down nice and smooth.
It’s a good dunkel, but not great. Not that I’m complaining.
Dark beer existed in Bavaria long before light beer. This was the first type of beer to be brewed at Hofbräuhaus when it was founded. Today, when beer-lovers all over the world talk about dark beer, they usually mean a Munich style beer. Today, Hofbräu Dunkel - the archetypal Bavarian beer - is still as popular as ever. With its alcoholic content of around 5.5% volume and its spicy taste, it’s a refreshing beer that suits all kinds of occasions. A beer in the traditional Munich style!
