Review: Paulaner Original Münchner Dunkel

Paulaner Original Münchner Dunkel from Paulaner Salvator Thomasbraeu AG
Rating: B

Sampled at the Paulaner Brauhaus in Cape Town, South Africa.

Appearance: Pours a dark garnet, slightly purple actually. Exceptional head retention, off-white head, good lacing.

Smell: Sweet, toasty, but uncomplicated.

Taste: bitter at the front, then toast (good so far) but then finishes with a malt sweetness. Not what I like to go out on, personally. I think the bitterness might be a touch harsh, as well...

Mouthfeel: Carbonation is good. Body is medium.
Drinkability is pretty good, certainly a refreshing change from the lighter stuff available at the Brauhaus. Solid beer, but not extraordinary.

Serving type: on-tap
