A clear mahogany pour props up a compact white head that dissipates quickly and offers up no lacing. The aroma is heavy on the malt and little else. The flavor was malt and some sweetness. A decent sweetness, not the corn sweetness you get the regular version. Forgettable finish. Thin mouthfeel.

Bottle. Pours red brown with a beige head. Caramel malty aroma, with a hint of salty soy. Thin body. Flavor is the same as aroma.

A bit watery, little aroma, but the flavor is pretty good. Granted, I’d rather go with a Hofbrau Dunkel or something of the like, but overall, for the price, this is not bad, especially for a Heineken.

Poured a dark reddish color with a white head. Aroma was very subdued but was mainly malty and some caramel. Flavor was over the tops sweetness with not enough balance of hops.

What exactly is an American Dark Lager ? Light in taste, body, aroma, flavor. Looks better than a regular Heineken, tastes just as bad. Those guys have at least on thing going for them: consistency.

From the bottle, pours medium dark with red undertones. Small carmel head that was gone quickly. Flavor is somewhat sweet with hints of raisins. I agree with cooldave. Finishes with a hint of fig. Drinkable. Have Another? Why not.
