When our kids were
younger, when they really liked something, they would often say, “I could live
on this!” This was their superlative compliment of appreciation. After some
time, as they became more aware of the fact that a person needs a balanced diet
in order to live, they amended the line, saying, “I could live on this. . . and
carrots.” This Dunkel in my esteem is deserving of this over the top
compliment.
Sweet, Nutty, roasted
malt flavors in a fizzy mouthful of cold beer are just exactly what I mean when I say beer.
too kind.
ReplyDeleteI sort of lucked in to a nice dunkel a couple years ago, but had trouble reproducing it.
The trick is to use a lot of Munich grain, but make sure it attenuates well.
A higher final gravity makes it too sweet and thick.
It should be rich in flavor, but not hard to drink.
