Reichold Dunkel
Brewery: Reichold
Town: Hochstahl
Style: Dunkles
Color: chestnut
Head: creamy, off-white
Nose: strong malt, some chocolae
Body: medium
Palate: richly malty, slight chocolate, fine underlying hops
Finish: long, semi-dry, bittersweet
Served: on tap at the brewery
Impression: Gasthof Reichold is one of the staple brewpubs on the Aufseß circuit. While this beer doesn’t appear to be one of their staples and I don’t see it on their website anymore, I’ve always found it on tap when there. Maybe I’m just lucky because I quite like it. It’s a fine balanced Dunkles and think it has a cleaner finish than the legendary dark beer up the trail at Kathi-Bräu.
Next beer or back to the beer list.

I'm an American living in Munich and Bamberg. Why? Well, I came for the beer but stayed for the girl. I'm very happily married to a German woman. Of course, the bonus of great beer certainly doesn't hurt. An avid love of hiking and finding new beers has led me to found Beerwanderers, an information resource on beer hiking trails in Franconia with an emphasis on Franconian food specialties and the endless variety of amazing beer the region is renowned for. I also published my first book Beer Hiking Bavaria which features 50 beer hikes in Bavaria and lead beer hiking experiences for those who love beer & nature. View all posts by beerwanderers
