The A. le Coq Alexander Dunkel is a characterful, dark lager beer with 4.7% ABV from the traditional brewery A. Le Coq in Tartu, the oldest and second largest brewery in Estonia, which traces its history back to 1826 and with this malt-forward Dunkel showcases Estonian brewing art from its dark and profound side. In the glass, it shimmers in a rich amber-mahogany with reddish reflections and a stable, creamy foam crown, while an inviting aroma of roasted bread, caramel, toffee, a hint of cocoa, and roasted almonds transitions into a silky-smooth, medium-bodied palate with pleasant malt sweetness, darker toffee notes, and a subtle roasted character, rounded off by a restrained and harmoniously integrated hop bitterness in the long, clean finish. The A. le Coq Alexander Dunkel is the perfect choice for anyone seeking a high-quality, accessible, and malt-aromatic deeply profound Estonian dark beer, which convinces as a mood-enhancing companion to grilled meats, hearty cheeses, fried dishes, and dark chocolate desserts as well as a pleasurable expression of one of the oldest and proudest brewing traditions of the Baltics.
