Ah, German style beer. Ah, German style dark beer...and from Texas of course. We're certainly known for our German brews around these parts (even in the northern parts of the state). Enter Franconia Brewing Company from McKinney, Texas, and their delicious Dunkel. It's a dark ("dunkel") brewed lager using an awesome blend of different German malts as well as the obligatory spicy hops for kick. The beer goes down pretty smooth, as it's fairly sweet, and ends with some light cocoa flavors at the bottom of the brew. There is a bit of a tangy aftertaste, akin to what you'd get after drinking a Newcastle Brown Ale, but the Dunkel is lighter and feels more like spring time. It would probably go great with a burger.
Visit the brewer.
