Getting My Beer On With Blue Stallion Dunkel

Back with another beer, this one is another from my recent trip to Lexington a few weeks ago. Dunkel from Blue Stallion Brewing is a Dunkel style lager that comes in with an ABV of 5.4% and an IBU of 24. Deep brown in color this beer does a nice job from appearance all the way through the aroma and taste. The abundant use of the Munich malts brought about a nice sweetness of the beer, and really brought out the nice caramel and toffee like notes. It was not too heavy of a beer and it was not too light either, as it just had a nice balance for this style. There was not as much head as expected and with the cup, I had at the hotel, I really could not pick up much lacing but that was truly minor compared to the smooth taste of the lager. This one turned out to be a little more pleasing for me, even more than expected. In the end, it was a pleasant surprise of a beer worth checking out. Speaking of checking, check out the video to see and hear more of my thoughts on this one. Also, if you have had it before then let me know what you thought by leaving a comment as well.
