We brewed this German-style Dunkel lager with our friends at Isle de Garde in Montreal. We’ve been big fans of their beers for years, so it was great to have them out here to talk brewing and make something together.

Dunkel Hour is clear chestnut brown with a fluffy light tan foam. There’s a touch of hop aroma up front, but this beer is all about malt, with biscuity and nutty notes on the nose. Dry and smooth on the palate, with low bitterness and layered malt flavours of hazelnut, bread crust, and milk chocolate. Medium carbonation keeps it balanced and easy drinking. A tasty, malty, nutty brown beer you can happily swig on.
