Impression: This was another impressive looking beer from Schübel with what appears their signature rocky massive head. There’s more grain in the nose than is typical for the style but some faint chocolate creeps in too. It’s also hoppier than most Dunkles but there’s plenty of malt to keep it in check. The finish is dry and bitter. It’s a flavorful but easy drinking 4.9%.
