One time Mr. Raccoon took a long walk through a long field of tall grass. When he got to the edge, there was nothing. It was space. A vacuum. Being an adventuresome tiny bear rodent, he jumped off, but not into something, into nothing. As he fell through the starless abyss, in swooped Senorita Nighthawk, grabbing him by the neck scruff and flapping him off further into the darkness. There they came upon Archduke Flying Bear, and they all sang a song of bliss and ignorance and beers and laughter before going poof and becoming nothing. This nothing becomes an ethereal smooth dark lager from Thuringia.

Can. Pours clear dark mahogany with an average light mocha colored head. The aroma is nutty, malty, sweet and toasty. The flavor is nutty with almost a smoky touch delivered over a light roast malt bitterness ending in a dry finish.

Pours a pretty brown hue, but the nose mostly keeps to itself. Starts with a bitter burst of hops, then rolls into a roasted center with the slightest of apple-tinted lager notes. Finishes with a mocha vibe piggybacked by aspirin-like hoppy fade. Thin feel, weak taste, made out of whack by the bitterness. Not overbearing, just a bit much for such an easygoing beer.
