355ml bottle pours a deep amber color with a finger of off-white head that leaves only a thin spotty lacing behind. Aroma is caramel with a hint of chocolate and a mild grassy and citrus notes. Taste is light caramel and chocolate malty sweetness with a grassy hop bitterness and mild citrus finish. Light body for the style and not very well balanced flavors.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Clear dark amber with a long-lasting ring head and light spotty lace. The taste is butter rum and caramel malt with a carbonated edge that brings it back toward a balance. The palate is slightly watery, which helps in this case. Overall, a cut above the national brands, but otherwise, average.

"Berghoff Sundown Dark Beer" Bottle pours brown(deep mahogany) with a khaki head. Aroma is lightly toasted with notes of caramel, milk chocolate, nuts, and a touch of diacetyl. Flavor is sweeter than the nose let on with underlying notes of dried red/dark fruit. Overall body is moderate and the finish is lightly bitter. Much like the Red Ale, this one is on the sweet side with not a whole lot going on to balance it out.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
@ORD. Medium brown with thin head. The aroma is more buttery than anything else, maybe some light toastiness as well. The taste is mild with caramel, toast and diacetyl. Not much else going on.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle - Pours clear rosy brown with a thin filmy off-white head. Smells milky and nutty, with dark bread and chocolate notes. Tastes sour and milky, with dark bread, light sweetness, and a touch of herbal hops on the finish. Astringent heat on the finish. Dusty yeast lingers, too. Not a beer I’d try again, not with so many better local options.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Clear brown color, thin body and modest head. Aroma and taste are bland, but basically nutty grain. Wouldn’t buy again.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Labeled as Sundown Dark. This was a pretty decent dark lager. Some sips had a certain depth to them and others were more thirst quenching. Serving: Bottle
