Poured from a 16 oz can dated May 24, 2022. Aroma is malt forward with lots of toasted bread and nuts and lighter notes of chocolate and roast. Dark caramel and toffee are also present. Hints of herbal, spicy hops and alcohol. Pours a rather dark brown, but not quite black with a large, thick, creamy, light tan head that recedes slowly to a small creamy film that lingers. Medium lacing and faint legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with a full malt profile. Lots of toasted bread, chocolate and roast notes with lighter dark caramel, toffee and nuts. Moderate bitterness and hints of alcohol. Hints of spicy, herbal hops. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied and crisp with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a really solid dark lager. Great malt character with some nice body but a decidedly dry and crisp finish. Hints of hop character and a nice balanced bitterness.
