Beer-a-Day #211
I love the funky bottles Grupo Modelo uses. The label simply says “Dark Beer”, but multiple sources online call it a Munich dunkel. I usually only get to have it out at a Mexican restaurant.
Dark brown with a nice head. Caramel and maybe a little fruit (peaches?) in the aroma. Body is lighter that I would have thought and just the slightest bit astringent. It’s good, though. I could go for some salsa.

I just bought a case of this at a local Mexican/Russian market. It’s across the street from the Safeway I normally shop at, but for some reason, I only started checking this store out recently. Not only does it have all the major beers from Mexico, but an impressive selection of beers from the former Eastern Bloc. I’m working my way through the offerings right now. I like the Negra Modello. Like you said, it’s lighter than you’d expect from such a dark beer. It’s a real nice beer for the summer.
