Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown color with a two finger off white foamy head, subtle messy lace after dissipation
Aroma: dark bread, earthy tones, black licorice, toast, smoke/ash and some cocoa powder
Flavor: wraps up all those previously mentioned aromas sweetly, somewhat smokey and a sky touch of spice, mild aftertaste of dark bread, toast and smoke
Texture: almost medium bodied - just a touch under, somewhat sessionable, mild finish of smoke, black licorice and earthy tones
Overall: a very nicely done dark lager I would bang again

Brewery draught, 1/18/24. Dark, clear, near black but with garnet-auburn highlights. Small, tan head quickly to ring. Chocolate, peanut, some heavy cracker. A bit overly roasty, it seems. Not tons of base malt expression. Soft, chocolatey, lightly sweet and malty with a watery finish. Some old coffee bean-like character. Pleasant, and not as over-roasted as the aroma suggested, but just missing a crisp texture and lager-like finish.

On Lukr at Blackback Pub. Pours black with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is cocoa, roast, licorice. Slick body, roast, cracker, licorice, bready malt, dry finish, very nice.
