Day 36, August 18

The Offering: Hofbrau Munchen, Hofbrau Dunkel. German.

ABV:5.5%

The first shipment of German beers is in! Ein mass bitte. We'll start with the Hofbrau.

This is an easy drinking beer. I can imagine putting back a couple of measures with little effort. For those heading to Octoberfest, a measure (German: mass) is a liter and is the proper quantity by which to order your brews.

I taste oak and roasted grains straight away. The nose is slightly sweet but not the taste. There is some unsweetened plum, and fig. Overall it is slightly bitter and dry and has some mineral tones like pelligrino. I would order this if available but wouldn't seek it out.

Points:88

Thanks to Katie

Prost!
