US pint, draught on 10th July 2024. Drank in some random bar in Paso Robles while watching England beat Holland at football (Euro's semi-Final). Very dark (like a brown ale) with a beige lid. Malty front, back and sides, not really like a Dark Lager at all. England won the match 2-1.

Bottlecraft, Little Italy, 2/24. Dark brown pour, frothy but falling fast. Hearty chimney roast on the nose. Bittersweet, a little peanut-y, moderate char, ash, iron, hidden acidity, a little dense for a Schwartz. Soda level carbonation, ashy, slight pith on the tail. Okay to good.

Canned May 8th, purchased from Bine and Vine.

It pours black but with reddish hues, nice 2 finger head of off white foam, impressive lacing.

The smell is cocoa, roasted malt, coffee, milk chocolate, some hoppy notes of pine.

The taste is cocoa, coffee, a bit of smoke, bitter notes of pine and dark chocolate.

Smooth mouthfeel, easy drinking, a real joy just to sip on.
