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!

This was a really great Dunkel. My green glass bottle said: Hofbrau Dunkel. I would put this up there with Ayinger in the style.

This is the best Dunkel I have ever tatsed. I love this beer, but too bad the brewery still insists on exporting the dreaded green bottle. I rarely get to enjoy this un-skunked, but when I do its like heaven. Sweet maltliness almost perfectly balanced by hops. Finishes smooth and eventful.

Now this is an impressive beer. Beautiful, rich, dark red-brown colour. Sizeable head. Possibly just the tiniest bit too thin, but this does not detract too much overall. Long, smooth caramel flavouring, with the slightest hints of coffee and chocolate. A very good beer.

A great beer, I must say; I found it to be immediately enjoyable and noted that I would certainly drink it again.
It pours an appealing dark colour with a decent frothy head which, unfortunately, recedes a bit too quickly. It has an enduring and pleasing flavour; distinctively caramel. It goes down very well. Well worth buying!

In the bottle at IL Casale in Schwaig, Germany. Dark brown with a very strong and lasting head. Aroma of molasses. Delicious rich roasted malty flavor. Heavier malt content than other dunkels with good hop balance.

Draught at Hofbräuhaus, Las Vegas Aroma was malty with a hint of dark fruit. Appearance was a dark red to brown the head was full and lasting, carbonation was medium to soft. It had a very malty sweet flavor some dark fruit the bitterness was subtle. It made for a host enjoyable beer.
