Dunkel Lager

All beer was once dark, but it was not until modern kilning of malts in the early 1800’s and the discovery of cold fermenting Lager strains in the 1840’s that allowed all the beautiful flavors of a Dunkel to come to life. Dunkels, including Chuckanut’s, are typically a deep reddish-brown color, capped by an impressively sturdy tan head. As in all lagers, the flavors in Dunkel are produced directly by the ingredients; in this case some of the malts have been roasted, giving Dunkel toffee, chocolate, coffee, and even licorice notes. There is just enough bitterness to balance out the malt. Chuckanut Brewery’s Dunkel has won a total of seven prominent medals since 2009 (four Gold, two Silver, one Bronze) from the GABF, World Beer Cup 2010, WA Beer Awards and the NABA. Show Less
