A very dark yet surprisingly light-bodied Lager beer, crisp and refreshing with no heaviness.

Some roast and lots of water like you built a dam. Black pour with decent head. Bitter finish. Fairly dry. Tap at Churchkey.

This showed up everywhere in NYC on tax day quite the gimmick they capitalized on but I’ll bite. Nice looking dark pour and one finger beige head. Nose is char and some coffee. Tastes of espresso, light cherry, ash, earth and plum. Light bodied and pleasant. 16oz grower from city hops

The Jeffrey, NYC tap: pours dark brown with beige head. Aroma is light chocolate, roast, hints of cafe. Taste is very nutty at the finish. Hints of chocolate, but freshly chewed hazelnut is strong here... not the bullshit flavoring. Nice and complex, but very chuggable.

Very crisp for a dark lager. Very nicely made in the style. Light in a good way, with balance coming from roast malts. Lanesplitter Berkeley.

Keg at Flavor Bistro. Pours deep brown with a frothy, tan head. The nose holds ashy roast, cocoa. Light sweet flavour, with ample charred malts, baking cocoa, strong roast, scorched earth. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Somewhat harsh and bitter on the finish, with more scorched earthy and ashy-woody dryness. Just OK.
