Light and dark are often used as contrasts, but something special can be found where light and dark meet. That’s what inspired this beer. Traditional Bohemian floor malts, Saaz hops, and open-fermentation create a light and easy-drinking beer that is dark in appearance with a hint of sweet roast.

Poured from a can into a belcher glass
Poured a transparent dark amber brown with a dense pale off white head that settles into a thin cover leaving some light tacky lacing.
Pardon my stuffy nose. Aroma is dark bread, earthy grassy hops and caramel malt.
Flavor follows with a nice melding of malts, the dark breads and caramel sweetness mesh leading into earthy grassy hops and a subtle roast that works well with the lightly bitter finish
Light body with the carbonation leading to a smooth experience.
Overall an excellent dark lager I would come back too almost any time of the year. Refreshing and easy drinking enough for warmer weather while the roast and bread malts make it hearty enough for the colder seasons too.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with lighter more auburn semi-transparency along the sides of the glass. Two finger white foamy head slid off at a moderate pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark roasted malts, light coffee, earthy tones, toasted nuts, some caramel/toffee malts and some sweet grains
Flavor: semi-sweet blending the prior noted aromas; minor aftertaste of roasty and coffee tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, nice earthy to malty smoothness along the tongue; finishes semi-sweet and roasty
Overall: pretty nice dark lager worthy of more pours.

Can from Wegman's. Deep orange brown with a medium head. Bready malt nose, chocolate, caramel, orange notes, a bit of miso. Nutty malt flavor with a bitter hop bite, dark rye bread, orange notes. Quite malty and delicious with a full body.

16 ounce can. My 725th Top 50 beer! Chestnut brown pour. Frothy beige head. Toasted malt aroma has nutty, earthy notes. Flavor mirrors nose. Added notes of toasted bread, toffee and herbal hops. Maybe some dark fruits as well. Nicely done.

16 oz. can. Pours a clear, dark, brown color, with a big, foamy, tan head. The aroma is toffee, toast, cola, and light anise. Sweet and bready, with a mellow, herbal bitterness. Medium body, smooth, and biting. Lovely, balanced, and tasty lager.

Tip Tap draught, 5/4/23. Clear, medium-brown. Off-white head shows moderate retention. Nose is lightly bready, with cookie and honey from base malt. Clean, malty enough, moderate specialty malt adding wood and toast. Soft, malty, good malt depth, quite a bit of toast and woodiness from specialty malt but not too bad, though more than I'd prefer. Still, malt depth is excellent and it's clean and very drinkable.

Can (unintelligible date code) from Beer and Wine Nation. It's a clear mahogany with nice sparkle, 2-finger width frothy beige head with poor retention and light splotchy lacing. Aroma is roasted earthy malt and toffee. Taste is roasted earthy sweet malts as advertised, brown bread with bit of toffee and hint of dark fruit. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, decent strength and good representative of the style but pretty down the middle without any surprises.

Pours mahogany tinged black into a stein. Mocha head with good retention recedes leaving scant spiders. Dark caramel, brown bread and chocolate aromas. Crisp with dark caramel, toasted raisin brown bread and prunes upfront turning to chocolate covered pit fruit in the medium length finish.

Can’t enough CDLs this year. Lighter and clear chestnut. Nose is light of leather and bread. Tastes of bread crust, leather, faint fruits, some tree. Crisp and smooth.
