Schell’s Dark is one of the lightest, dark beers you will find. No, seriously. It is deep amber in color with a light, but classic maltiness and a mild hop bitterness. In fact, the only reason we call it Dark is because the barley is roasted longer.

Sampled from a 12 oz clear bottle this beer poured a chestnut color with a small tan head. The aroma is sour tangy macro malts. The flavor is sour and tangy macro malts with a long smooth middle and a slightly bitter finish. Somewhat bland but quite drinkable.

Bottled. Opens with a malty, earth smell. Pours a nice amber with a fluffy. Taste has a malty richness and is nice and bubbly, but there were some distracting off-flavors. A bit of oxidation and a medicinal phenol character overwhelms the light hop profile. I think if I had another sample, it should turn out pretty good.

Aroma of a standard lager. Appearance is a red-brown. Flavor is exceptionally smooth with lots of sweet malt. Surprisingly good.
