Commercial Description:
Eastside Dark The rich, coffee-like aroma and flavor ot this find Dark Bavarian style lager beer is derived from a precise blending of three different specialty barley malts, chocolate, black patent, and Munich malt. Munich malt is also added to bring about the creamy body of this malty brew that has an original gravity of 1060. The most impressive aspect of ths brew is the perfect balance between the specialty malts and coveted Mt. Hood hops. Unlike many other dark beers, East Side Dark doesn't have the bitter aftertaste associated with it. Instead, your palate is greeted with the rich body and balanced flavor that only this beer can deliver.

Bottle. Poured black with a brown head. Aroma was chocolaty with a bit of malt undertone. Flavor was dark with rich malt notes.

Aroma is strong, malty and yeasty with just a touch of cinnamon. It pours a somewhat transparent amber-brown with a thick and fairly persistent tan head - quite appetizing. Flavor is malty and hast a subtle undertone of molasses. Texture is smooth, a little fizzy and just a tad thin - this beer’s only weak point. Overall, a worthy brew.

From Bottle. D’s 6 packs and Dogs. Pours caramel brown. Nice foamy off-white head. Laced the entire glass as I drank. Aroma nutty, caramel, roasted malts. First sip was NOT what I expected. Bitter, sharp, and hoppy. After the first few sips like this my mouth adjusted. From there I could taste cocoa, caramel, roasted nuts and malts. Body was light. Watery almost. Finish was sharp and astringent. I am surprised that it is a dunkel. I would have never guessed.

Dark brown color...almost opaque. Thin head, though with good lacing. Roasted malt aroma. Front has a bold maltiness for the style...crisp mouthfeel. Somewhat of a pungent hop bite develops in the back. Finish is dry, yet with a slight hop tang. Unique to find a dunkel with this amount of flavor, though the overly crisp profile masks a good deal of it...very drinkable however.

Decent, but not great. I’m surprised to learn that this is a dunkel, as it seemed more like a brown or even a traditional ale. Perhaps I should try it again, with Dunkel on my mind.

BOM April. Reasonably good dunkel lahger. My fire is already beginning to get lit for my Jamaican wedding next month. Not by this beer so much. Maybe a little.

12oz bottle from mix pack. One of the better options from a collection of very dissapointing beers from a Lakefront mix pack. Still I didn’t have anything great to say about this one either but it is drinkable and actually not that bad.
