Capital Munich Dark

Brewed by Capital Brewery
Style: Dunkel
Middleton, Wisconsin USA

Picked up single bottle from Cellars Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours a dark burnt brown brew with an off-shite head. Slowly dissolving and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is thick, roasted grain, nuts, some chocolate, molasses and caramel. Taste is full bodied and sweet. Finish is like molasses with a dry aftertaste. Another excellent brew from Kirby!

Pours a light brown color with a off white head. Aroma is malty sweet and nutty. Flavor is malty, nutty, and slightly spicy.

12 oz. bottle. Tart, chocolatey, lemony aroma of carmel malts; not particularly strong. Pours an effervescent, slightly hazy but mostly clear brown with a gold hue and a large amount of off-white/cream-colored head. Chocolate and lemon flavors, as one would expect given the aroma. Very tasty if simplistic. Burnt malt finish. Long, bitter chocolate aftertaste. Medium body (full by lager standards). Smooth, crisp, and lively in the palate. Easy to drink. Capital Munich Dark is a good representative of the dunkel lager style.

Poured a clear deep amber with a small beige head. Sweet thick malty aroma with dark fruits. Semi-sweet malt with light fruit and mild chocolate notes. Light to medium bodied.

12oz bottle. Poured a deep amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of toasted malts, light chocolate, roast and some caramel. Tastes of toasted malts, light roast, and light chocolate. Tastes on the weaker side compared to the aromas. Thinner body.

Pours a dark brown, almost chocolate colored. Nice sweetness in the aroma, maybe butterscotch or brown sugar. Has a nice mouthfeel, although slightly weak. Very tasty. Notes of chocolate and an overall sweetness. Finishes appropriately bitter. A good beer.

Bottle: The aroma of this beer seemed really off to me. I really could not get over the grass and menthol aromas here. Some chocolate was noted as well. In the mouth, the chocolate flavors dominated, and were actually quite rich compared to what I’m used to. But I also noted saltiness and sourness that did not mach well with the chocolate flavors. Did note some coffee like bitterness in the finish as well. This was definitely an interesting beer, but good...?

Capital Munich Dark pours a hazy, dark amber brown with a biege head. The aroma is sweet and malty with some inviting fruit and butterscotch to it as well. The flavor is malty and a bit fruity like a bock beer, but not as strong or defined. Mild grassy and spicy bitterness and some sourness here and there. There is some roasted malt flavor in the finish as well as some spicy and floral hoppiness. I would say that this beer is medium bodied, pretty smooth, and good overall. 12 oz bottle (bonus) from buckybeer. Thanks Mark!
