BJCP 4B

BJCP 2008 4B Munich Dunkel style example
4B - Dark Lager / Munich Dunkel

 

IMPRESSION

Characterized by depth and complexity of Munich malt and the accompanying melanoidins. Rich Munich flavors, but not as intense as a bock or as roasted as a schwarzbier.

COMMENTS

Unfiltered versions from Germany can taste like liquid bread, with a yeasty, earthy richness not found in exported filtered dunkels.
