Dunkel Lager

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Dunkel Lager 

• Brewery: SlyFox Brewing Company (Pennsylvania)

• Style: Munich Dunkel Lager

• ABV: 5.3%

• IBU: 21

• Pour Color: A amber color that light traveled thru easily.

      The pour left a head that was slightly fluffy for a sip or two. Then the head was gone. The top of the beer had lacing. Only a slight sweet malt scent off the top. The color was a amber that looked rather thin and allowed light thru. The malts were a sweet sour dough. The hops really added little to no bitterness or flavor. A lager like beer, not much more. 
      I'm not a lager fan and it takes something special to impress me. This isn't one of those special beers. This is overly sweet and sour. The mix makes for a weird swallow while also tasting the bready finish of yeast and malt. I really don't see myself grabbing another one of these.

A Dark Night In Munich

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: A Dark Night In Munich

• Brewery: Samuel Adams Brewing Company (Massachusetts)

•  Brewer: Corey Martin

• Style: Munich Dunkle Lager

• ABV: 5.9%

• IBU:?

• Pour Color: Dark ruby red tone to it, light passes through easily.

     The Face popped this one open and it poured perfect. A nice high head that stuck around only a short while. The red color of this one really makes for a gorgeous look in a pint glass. The scent off the top was a caramel malt scent, not much hops. A yeasty bready scent off the top to. The taste out the glass was another malt explosion. A nice mix of caramel and chocolate makes up most of this one. The yeast spice is a nice element too. Also a nice earthy blend of hops balances this one away from being to sweet. Really a delicious blend, of flavor, with a slight over carbonation to me. I'd bathe in it again just about anytime though! 
      Being the Face is also a home brewer it's no wonder this would show up in front of me. Corey Martin did a great job for a beer that any mustache should love. The head disappeared quick and the sweetness of this one doesn't leave me sticky. On top of that it's at a 5.9% ABV. I dare you to find another Dunkle lager like that. This one was a no brainer. Delicious and created by a home brewer, what more could you want?
