A floor-malted and single decocted Maine grown dark lager.
Brewed to celebrate the complexity of kilned malts.
As pale malts are warmed under heat and steam they begin to develop color and rich flavors. Slowly leaving behind characteristics of varietal and growing region and taking on a new identity.
Tasting notes of honey, granola and dark choclate.

473ml can. Opalescent, redd-ish, dark copper colour with small to average, fluffy, slowly osteoporosing, moderately lacing, beige head. Mellow, nutty, toasty, dark and caramel malty aroma, notes of malt lozenge, praline, hazelnut, nougat. Taste is toasty, nutty, dark and caramel malty, mildly bitter hoppy, hints of caramel, malt lozenge, praline, nougat, hazelnut, a touch of honey.
Minimally creamy, dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, smooth, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium to fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Clean, balanced, maybe a tad too dry - very nice.

16 oz can. Served in my footed Pilsner glass.
Color is a dark caramel bordering on deep brown. Not black.
Aroma is toasted malts showing light earthy hints and mild bread. Flavor follows with a balance of toasted malt and a soft mineral content.
Medium plus body. Very enjoyable German Dunkle.

Pours dark, clear mahogany into a Sam glass. White head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Brown bread, root beer and nut aromas. Spritzy with with sweet raisin brown bread and molasses upfront turning to earthy licorice, root beer and birch beer in the medium length finish.

Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a finger and a half's worth of eggshell white foamy head which slid off at a nice pace to leave some messy lace.
Aroma: smooth semi-sweet oats, roasted nuts, dark bread & toast, mild earthy tones, light black licorice and dark fruits
Flavor: moderately blends all the prior mentioned aromas smoothly into that toasty dry sweetness; mild aftertaste of dark bread, dark fruits and toast
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable and extremely smooth! Finishes semi-crisp but lingering with the dark fruits and oats
Overall: an absolutely wonderful dark lager more than worthy of having again!
