Modelo Negra (71cl, 5.4%)

A Munich Dunkel-style dark lager brewed in Mexico, first produced in 1925. The malt bill combines two-row and six-row barley with caramel malt and black malt, supplemented by rice, and it is hopped with Galena and Super Galena. It is brewed for a longer period than the pale counterpart to develop deeper flavour from the slow-roasted caramel malts. The aroma brings kilned malts, dark bread, caramel sweetness and subtle nuttiness. The palate is smooth and malt-forward, with brown bread, treacle, roasted nuts, caramel and a lightly floral hop note. The finish is medium, with toasted bread and gentle caramel warmth.
