Tröegs Scratch #181

Scratch #181 represents our interpretation of a Munich Dunkel Lager (“dunkel” meaning “dark” in German). Developed in Bavaria, the Dunkel Lager is generally regarded as the world’s oldest true beer style. Keeping our German brewing heritage in mind with a nod to our exploratory nature, Scratch #181 offers a refreshing, slightly gentler take on the style. The use of Chocolate and Munich malts coupled with noble hops results in a smooth, rich, and complex lager. Combining a slightly dry chocolate note and bready sweetness with a well-rounded, crisp character, this deceptively dark beer comes without the weight of other dark beer styles such as porters and stouts.
