Spaten Munchen Dunkel, brewed and bottled in Munich, Germany, imported by a company from NY and has no "best-by" date on it. It is a 5.2% ABV. It beer comes in a 12oz green bottle which apparently is not the best for beer. I guess the light destroys the beer somehow, which is confusing because there is a lot of beer sold in green bottles. Maybe because they look all sleek and pretty, as in some of the European imports.
It pours dark like a coke, but almost see through with a small and short-lived head. Not to much aroma in this one. This was a dark beer but tasted light and refreshing, though it did lack a good body. I expected more from it actually. This is such a specific category that I thought I would have something special, but it was just a dark lager. Very light on the hops and decent malty taste.
On a 0-3 scale: 2. (for rating info see first tasting)
Would I buy it again: No. I am still getting use to lagers and their lack of body so I will pass for now since it's not that easily available.
Would I recommend to a friend: I didn't think anything special of it so I probably wouldn't
What would I do different: No get so excited about it before I taste it, harder than it sounds, I get excited about beer
Why did I chose this beer: I found it on http://beeradvocate.com/, and it was one that I could find at http://www.99bottles.net/ in this catagory.
