Amber beige color. Aromas and flavors of rye bread, teriyaki, medium roast coffee, and molasses with a velvety, lively, spritzy, dry medium body and a captivating, medium-length finish with suggestions of burning english muffin, dark chocolate, molasses, and mole spiced nuts. Rich and toasty and full flavored but medium-to-easy drinking on the palate; a fall crusher of a beer.

Dark Lager

Dark lagers (also known as Dunkel or dunkel-style lagers) range in color from dark brown to black and range in alcohol from 4.5-5.5%. At their best, these beers combine the dryish chocolate or licorice notes associated with the use of dark roasted malts and the roundness and crispness of a lager. Munich dunkel style lagers are also included in this category. These beers tend to be fuller-bodied with a hint of bready sweetness to the palate, a characteristic of the typical Bavarian malts used. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Full Sail Session Black Premium Dark Lager, Hofbräu Dunkel and MOA Noir Dark.
