Dunkel is one of several types of dark beers from Bamberg, Germany area. This Franconian version is slightly stronger and drier than the dark lagers of Bavaria. The word Dunkel means “dark,” and the flavor of this Franconian lager delivers on the theme. The color is dark of course and approaching opaque but still transparent.
The ABV is 5.6%.
Deep rich roasted chocolate and nutty flavors evolve from the brewing process, and the darker imported Munich grain gives you a smooth malty finish. The moderate bitterness is sufficient to balance out any sweetness you may taste. Minimal hop aroma comes through. Instead, notes of bread and nuts dominate the nose. For the maximum flavor experience, serve Prost’s Dunkel in a becher glass or a stein as a second choice.
