Flensburger, Flensburger, Flensburger.

Not quite a Beer Run, but we’ve got another beer from Flensburger tonight.  Flensburger Dunkel ranks the 29^th top Dunkel on Beer Advocate’s list. 

What’s a Dunkle?  Dunkels were the original beer style of Bavarian villages and countrysides. Most dunkels are lagers, ranging in color from amber to a dark reddish brown.  They are often full bodied, in part because of the large amount of Munich malts used.

The Flens Dunkel actually reminded me a bit of an Oktoberfest or Marzen, malty with a bit of a sweet taste.
