Beer of the Week: Ayinger Altbairisch Dunkel

Beer score: 7.0

Company: Ayinger
ABV: 5.0
IBU: 21

This German brew pours a dark brown color but it's not opaque like the thickest of stouts. It has a hint of a sour smell, but not enough to really ruin the experience, mainly because there are also some bready caramel and chocolate scents.

There's some carbonation on the tongue, but again, not enough to hurt.

It's not as heavy as it looks, and tastes nutty with caramel and coffee and a hint of that chocolate.

The perfect beer? No, but it's one of the best I've had in weeks, so I can't complain.
