Tasting Notes

Appearance: Weihenstephaner Tradition pours a deep amber colour with a rich, creamy off-white head that lingers, leaving a delicate lace on the glass.

Aroma: The aroma is inviting and complex, with notes of toasted bread, caramel, and a touch of chocolate, balanced by a subtle hint of noble hops that adds a delicate floral undertone.

Flavour: This Munich Dunkel Lager offers a harmonious blend of malt-forward flavours, featuring rich caramel, roasted nuts, and a mild sweetness reminiscent of toffee. The malt complexity is balanced by a light bitterness from the hops, creating a smooth, well-rounded taste that is both satisfying and refreshingly drinkable.

Mouthfeel: The beer has a medium body with moderate carbonation, offering a velvety mouthfeel that enhances the depth of the malt flavours while maintaining a crisp, clean finish.

Food Pairings

Weihenstephaner Tradition pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes:

Roast Meats: The rich, malty flavours of this Dunkel Lager complement the savoury, robust taste of roast pork, beef, or lamb, making it an ideal companion for hearty meals.

German Sausages: Traditional Bavarian sausages, such as Bratwurst or Weisswurst, are elevated by the beer’s caramel and toasted malt notes, creating a classic pairing that celebrates the best of German cuisine.

Cheese: Pair this lager with semi-hard cheeses like Gouda, Emmental, or Cheddar for a delicious contrast of flavours, where the beer’s maltiness enhances the creamy, nutty characteristics of the cheese.

Dark Chocolate Desserts: The subtle chocolate undertones in the beer make it a perfect match for desserts featuring dark chocolate, such as a flourless chocolate cake or chocolate mousse, creating a decadent finish to your meal.
