An old friend of Bavaria, Munich Dunkels are smooth, rich and complex, but without being heady or heavy. Dunkel is the German word meaning dark, and dunkel beers typically range in color from amber to dark reddish brown. They boast brilliant ruby hues from the large amounts of Munich malts used, and these malts also lend a fuller-bodied beer. The decoction brewing process also lends much depth and richness. Bitterness is often moderate, with just enough to balance out any sweetness. Hop varieties used tend to be of the German noble varieties, like: Tetnang and Hallertau.
