Commercial Description:
Beck's Dark is rich and smooth with a lingering, slightly sweet aftertaste. The deep ebony color is the result of specially roasting the barley malt. Unlike dark ales, Beck's Dark is a bottom-fermented lager which creates a robust flavor and full body while retaining the refreshing properties of a lager beer.

This is pretty fair beer. Dark brown with an off white head that doesnt last all too long. Malty aroma with some fair malt on the tongue. A bit of hops is noticeable. Very carbonated and a thin mouthfeel.

Pours cola colored into a stein. Off-white head recedes to skim surface. Slight skunk and metal. Lasting dusty cocoa finish.

Bottle. Pours deep amber brown with a beige head. Grainy malt aroma, a touch of sweetness and toast. The flavor has grain, straw, and a bit of toast. Pretty unimpressive.

Tasted 9/17/08. 12oz bottle. Filtered with a dark amber hue. Moldy off-white head. Cereal grain aromas with a hint of toffee. Light to medium bodied with a slightly bitter yet sweet palate but a sticky sweet finish. Cola effervescence. Skunky and caramel. Meh...

(Bottle). Mild malty aroma. Very dark brown with off-white head. Flavor has vague hints of malt, and some sweetness, with not much finish.

Dark brown color with no head at all. Skunky aroma. It has a chocolate, caramel taste with a slightly bitter finish. OK, but not spectacular.
