Label Text:
“Imagine, if you will, traveling to Bavaria, Germany without ever leaving your chair. Sipping on one of Munich’s oldest and most delicious styles. This beer will get you there (or so says Dr. Greta Pinder-Schloss)! Our dunkel, whish means “dark” in German, is a rich and smooth lager with notes of chocolate and toffee, that is balanced by the Noble hops. Dark and complex, much like Uncle Fester from America;s most mysterious and spooky family. One thing’s for sure, we’d trade all our family doubloons for this lager!”
