Year Round

6 Pack · Draft

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.

Craft Beer & Brewing

“Good malt complexity… hits the style on the nose.”

Reviewed 2019

Before pale malt was possible, every Bavarian bier was dark. Munich malt kilned to bread crust and cocoa, then lagered cold until the sweetness falls clean away. This is what bier tasted like for four hundred years.
