Munich Dunkel

Munich Dunkel is a dark German lager that originated in Munich, characterized by its smooth, malty richness with notes of chocolate, bread crusts, and toasted nuts, while maintaining a clean lager profile with minimal hop bitterness. It is traditionally brewed using Munich malts and a decoction mashing process, which contributes to its deep copper to dark brown color and complex malt flavors, while German noble hops provide subtle balance.
