COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cricket Hill has done it again! We have brewed the magnificent dark lager that was a favorite of our tour goers in last year’s trial experiment. Our Cricket’s Nocturne combines a mild crispness with subtle toasty, chocolate notes to make it the perfect thirst quencher on days when there’s a chill in the air. It’s a great accompaniment to hearty Autumn or Winter meals, or dessert by the fireside. This American dark lager’s unique balance of easy drinkability and richness of flavor make it a classic Cricket Hill delight!

Sampled at the DC Local Tasting a 22oz bottle pours a transparent copper amber with one ring of clumpy head. Nose is sweet, a little brown sugar, malty, fairly standard. Sweet flavor, brown sugar, a little bread. Watery finish.

PorterPounder (3936) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - JAN 16, 2012
Savannah, Ga - Habersham Beverage Warehouse - 650 ml bottle. Pours a cola-like dark brown with and extra frothy off-white head. Fresh lake water aroma, a hint of date like fruity sweetness. Flavor has some black dirt earthiness, a hint of licorice, some molasses-like sweetness. Mouthfeel is about as thick as expected for a dark lager. Does in a pinch.
