Friedrich Hauf 1901 Dunkel

Impression: Good looking Dunkel and nice to see it still on tap despite its lack of popularity. Once this generation of older women dies out, it will too. It’s a shame as even though it’s not as dry as their other beers, it’s certainly not sweet in the least. It’s got a nice chocolatey note which smoothes into the moreish bittersweet finish. Less so as it warms but still true enough to form to be appreciated.
Back to the beer list.
