That said, Moretti is more or less like a dunkel - the German word for
"dark" and usually used in reference to a darker-colored, fairly malty beer
of average strength. Most of the Bavarian and Munich breweries brew a
version, several of which are sold in the States. The most likely brands
you'll be able to find are Spaten and Paulaner, and perhaps Ayinger. Note
that something called dunkelweizen or dunkelweiss will not be at all like
Moretti.

Interesting...I've always thought of it more like a bock. It seems too
"thick" compared to something like the Ayinger dunkel.


I agree with the bock interpretation. Its been a long time, I wonder
which type of caramelized malt they use.
