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!

Bottle 355 ml
Appearance: mahogany with hint of dark amber. Large fine off white top. Medium lacing.4-
Nose: Mineral , meadow hops , slight feel of chocolate , some bitterness. 6+
Flavor/Palate : Medium bodied. Splendid work if you look at malt character. Soft, clean and approachable in body as well in texture. Dunkel character it self felt a bit subdued. Good lager per se but not best for style.

(bottle) Clear, ruby amber colour with a big and tanned foamy head. Sweet and almost Bock-like toast-malty aroma with strong notes of caramel and a touch of dark bread an anise. Light-bitter flavour, medium to light bodied with a well-carbonated mouthfeel. Dry toasty malt character with pronounced notes of caramel. Toasty and slightly hop bitter finish with wll-blended sweet malt. Decent Dunkel (21.II.09).

12 oz. bottle courtesy of FlacoAlto - Pours a clear brown color with deep red edges and sports a one finger thick off white head. Light lacing. Aroma is light toasted caramel malt with a hint of herbal hops. Flavor is much of the same with the addition of some pronounced herbal flavors. A nice medium bodied beer. Thanks Sebastian.

Draft at Hofbrau Beer Garden in Panama City Beach. Brown in the glass with a tan head that had a thin layer lasting and good lace. Sweet malts in the aroma with a backing of nut and caramel. The flavor is slightly lighter with sweet malts and a hint of bitterness. Light to medium body with a sweet malt aftertaste.

...draft at the Melbourne Hofbrau House. In the glass looked a dark reddish brown with a tan head that was mostly lasting. On the nose were roasted malts, caramel, and hints of sweet malt. Mouthfeel was thin, with flavors of roasted malts, and some hints of toffee. Finish was dry, and slightly metallic. There was something missing. I was not impressed, especially by the price.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber color with a small off white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a sweet malt with yeast and caramel and toffee. The taste is a light malt, a bit watery with caramel and toffee. A decent dunkel from Hofbrau.

Average dunkel from Hofbrau. On draft from Mr. Dunderbaks. Nice malty and caramel balance--smooth and not too strong.
