COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Celebrate Halloween with the latest brew straight from Jim Wagner's cauldron: 31, our new Spiced Munich Dunkel. This German-style amber lager tricks you with its smooth, malty taste and moderate 5.1% abv, then treats your palate with a spicy finish of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Not to bad, I really like spiced beers so I knew going in that I would like this one, though not the best I’ve had, still decent.

Draft. Pours reddish brown with thin off-white head; poor retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is plums, caramel, spice, and light roast. Flavor is cookie and caramel malt primarily; faint hops and some spicy undertones throughout. Medium body and carbonation with low warmth.

Draft @ Bel Air location. Had a nice dark red color, smelled very earthy, lots of spices and pumpkin. Taste was also very earthy. Great taste, very nice surprise with this one!

Pours a brownish copper with amber notes and a small off white head. Aroma and flavor reminded me of basically a punkin pie spiced munich dunkel. Solid dunkel with appropriate spicing balance.

12 oz draft served in a pint glass. Pour is rusty, tarnished metal with almost no head or lacing. Nose is cinnamon and nutmeg on top of a dopplebock. Taste is right on par with a wet, candy caramel finish. This one is all malt and I really enjoyed it; this brew is definitely worthy of a sixtle!

Pours a brown color with a small off white head. Smells of veggies, bit of brown sugar and a pumpkin. Taste is very earthy. I taste roots, plants, veggies, and a pumpkin! Pretty veggy like. I like.

Surprise surprise I like another octoberfest beer. I like how just about all oktoberfest beers have similar non offensive starts, neutral smells a solid appearance and an amazing aftertaste. I walked in expecting pumpkins and am disappointed that this has no extra halloween spirit. That said, upon further analysis it was not advertised with pumpkins so I cannot in good conscious deduct for this oversight.
