pours a nice darl caramel color. small tan head. Aroma is malt, with a really nice nutiness. Really nice carbonation, flavour is nutty, and malty, with a touch of frutiness. Nice and light, and quite refreshing.

16 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 5/29/2018. Pours crystal clear deep ruby red, light copper/brown color with a 1 finger dense and rocky light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread dough, toasted biscuit, and nuts; with lighter notes of chocolate, cocoa, coffee, pepper, herbal, grass, and roast/toasted earthiness. A bit of fruity aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with dark/bready/light roasted malts, and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big caramel, brown sugar, brown bread dough, toasted biscuit, and nuts; with lighter notes of chocolate, cocoa, coffee, pepper, herbal, grass, and roast/toasted earthiness. Mild herbal, grassy, spicy, roasted bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread dough, toasted biscuit, nuts, light chocolate, herbal, grass, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready/light roasted malts, and light earthy hop flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying flavors after the finish. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with no fruity/yeasty notes present. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and slightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a very nice Euro dark lager. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready/light roasted malts, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth and pretty refreshing to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful for the ABV. Very clean and nicely rich malt complexity, with mild earthy hop presence/balance. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

473ml can. Pours a clear brown with red hue and a small, fizzy, short lived, beige head that dissipates to an outer ring leaving spotty lacing. Sweet aroma of bready malt, caramel, raisin and light nuts. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, dark chocolate, caramel, ash, dark fruit and nuts with a dry, mildly bitter coffee finish. Light to medium body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Pleasant, more of a Dunkel.

A chocolate fudge brown with a light beige head. A floral perfumey chocolate aroma with a light body featuring roasted oats and fudgey chocolate. OK.

Tasting at Ferris’, can
Dark chestnut color, clean, with small head. Lean, smooth, not too dry, with mild caramel aroma and flavor, the bitterness is a bit on the low side.
Clean, but somehow bland, like most beers in the style.
