Dark Lager Varietals

Lager is a beer that is made and aged at a low temperature. Lagers come in a variety of colors, including light, amber, and dark. Until the 1840s, lagers were mostly dark; light lagers did not become popular until the late 19th century, when technological developments made them easier to produce. Dark lager comes in a variety of colors, from amber to dark reddish brown, and is referred to as Vienna, amber lager, Dunkel, tmavé, or Schwarzbier, depending on the region, color, and brewing method.

Tmavé means "dark" in Czech, therefore it's the name for a dark beer there; beers that are so dark they're black are called erné pivo, or "black beer." Dunkel means "dark" in German, hence it's the phrase for a dark beer there. Dunkel is weaker than Doppelbock, another traditional black Bavarian beer, with alcohol concentrations of 4.5 percent to 6% by volume. Dunkel was the traditional Bavarian village and landscape aesthetic. [20] In Saxony and Thuringia, a significantly deeper, almost black beer with a chocolate or licorice-like flavor, akin to stout, is created.

All beers used to be dark since all malts were dark. Lighter malts became more widely available over time, but not everyone could make the popular pilsner-style beers. Some regions, such as Munich, had carbonate water that was relatively hard. Their water was better suited to the production of black beers. That's exactly what they did. Munich brewers used the new lager yeasts that were becoming accessible at the time, but they used darker malts. Dunkel ("dark") beers were the name given to these new lagers.

They were a dark brown mahogany lager made entirely of barley. These beers were exceptionally mellow and graceful since they were brewed with high carbonate water and lager yeast. The water brought out the malt background, which is one of the style's characteristics.

Because of the high carbonate content of the water, it was vital to maintain the hop bitterness to a minimum. The hopping is light, just enough to counteract the beers' strong malty characteristics.
