Moon Under Water Creepy Uncle Dunkel

If their is one type of beer that deserves a good old fashioned pun it is the Dunkelweizen and Moon Under Water Brewery has risen to the occasion with the Creepy Uncle Dunkel. This very dark, chestnut coloured beer that pours with a single finger of head settling in a clean-rimmed glass. Notes of toasted malt, caramel and orange peel come through in the nose alongside a smooth vanilla tone. The taste is light and refreshing for a dark dunkelweizen. Toasted malts give a solid base for the vanilla, chestnut and caramel flavours to build upon. No single flavour will jump out at you with this dark lager and at first taste it may come off as being rather simple. Paying closer attention to the flavours you will notice a great depth and diversity that makes for a delicious and smooth ensemble. As someone that isn’t usually a huge fan of Dunkelweizens this one is actually quite nice. The flavour could be a little more bold but overall this is a fantastic tasting beer.
