"Dark" beers are out of popularity right now, which means there aren’t as many to choose from. Either way, THIS is one of the better darks ever made. Not overly heavy, but not a lager with food coloring added.

enough caramel to qualify as near cocoa gives this more character then many other beers of its class. still an improvement on the flagship, more substantial and lightly intreguging and without the trademark oxidation.

Crushed with Jakebra. Nice. No skunk pee, but possibly some skunk poop. I guess thats the difference in the recipes. Nothing good to comment upon. Thank god for variety 6 packs. One bottle of this shiot is enough.

Bottle. Pours a clear brown, nice tan head. Aroma is malts and a touch of chocolate. Flavor is again malt, cereal, a little sweet. Slight bitterness on the finish.

Pours a dark cherry wood color with a nice tan head that has good retention. Aroma of molasses. Flavor is roasted malt and is just a bit smokey. There is some caramel, buttered toffee, and just a hint of earthiness that is unexpected in a macro. Feel is thin and flat. This is not a bad beer and is far superior to their pale lager.
