Commercial Description:
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 occasion. A beer in the traditional Munich style!

On tap. Pretty good, but I could have used a bit more sweet caramel flavor. The hops bitterness seemed a bit flat too, but the balance was very nice.

Draught. A halfway decent dunkel i thought. Some light brown sugar and caramel, with a grassy hop edge. Not too sweet or anything, pleasant.

The aroma is sweet toasted cereal grains, chocolate, and caramel. The appearance is red brown with a thin head. The flavor is like the aroma with more bitterness than expected but its far from being really bitter. The palate is thin but not bad. This is a good Dunkel.

Hofbrau Munchen Hofbrau Dunkel. A green 12 oz bottle that said Hofbrau Dunkel - Dark Munich Specialty. Smelled a little like a skunk cabbage plant on the aroma. Very good dark without too much bitterness. Just a little hops on the finish.
