What does Germany smell like? If you just have to know, hit play and hear the aromatic explanation as the BeerJunkie himself, Paul Pabst, cracks open a Munich-style dark lager, brewed specifically for winter enjoyment.
Today, Pabst continues his five-part series on winter beer, this time sampling from Massachusetts Jacks Abby. The brewerys Extra Layer dark lager boasts notes of toffee and caramel (and some German noble hops Pabst cant pronounce).
Find out why this smooth lager is a new cold-weather favorite for our host.
