Commercial Description:
Celebrate Halloween with the latest brew straight from Jim Wagner's cauldron: 31, our new Spiced Munich Dunkel. This German-style amber lager tricks you with its smooth, malty taste and moderate 5.1% abv, then treats your palate with a spicy finish of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Growler, from Bowie location. Pours a very bright, clear, ruby-tinged orange color; significant, light tan head with good retention and solid lacing. Plenty of doughiness and soft bready notes in the aroma, coupled to a warm autumn / pumpkin spicing; a slight bit of red fruit coming through as well. Medium mouthfeel: some caramel and dried fruit and dough at the front, but without any stickiness; nice spice presence, showing plenty of warm cinnamon and nutmeg without falling into any of the rough, sugary potholes of the typical pumpkin beer; very well placed spicing and a pleasant German lager underneath. Medium, cinnamon and doughy finish; minimal sugar. A very pleasant autumn beer.

On tap @ Bowie location-Poured a deep copper color w/a slight off white head & good lacing. Roasted malt aroma. Roasted malt flavor w/ traces bread dough. Had a definite spiced flavor, I’d say cinnamon & nutmeg describe it perfectly. Long, malty, spicy finish, Enjoyable.

Arundel Mills location. Reddish-orange, clear pour. Foliage and fresh cut grass on the intial aroma; solid and well-executed spicing beneath in nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice. Powdery, bready, and earthy. Firm pumpkin sweetness dominates the flavor, though without the sugary, fleshy overkill of more audacious examples, remaining reticent and quite sophisticated in highlighting the richness of quiet dark lager lingering beneath; brown sugar, salted almond and pumpkin seed. Drier tones of wet paper and peppermint toward the finish. Wet, bready, and sweet palate; lightly rich, and delicately carbonated; spicy remnants remain with soft touch long after swallowing. Surprising, eager to please, and capable of it.
