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.

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.

12 oz bottle courtesy of the brewery (Milwaukee, WI). Pours a very dark dark brown, a syrupy hue, largely clear inside the darkness, with small offwhite head that dissipates to a film, very minimal lacing. Aromas are quite evident, preaching light toasty malts with carmel, biscuits, coffee, and some chocolate. Smells fairly appetizing. Initial is lighter medium bodied, pushing some decent sessionability, with toasty and carmel malts, biscuits, toffee rounding out with coffee and chocolate towards the backend. Light bitterness, largely malt dominant, but still light enough to put back a few. Aftertaste leaves some bitterness and semi sweet chocolate mixed with some sweet maltiness. This isn’t bad, good malt, lacking a bit in presentation and body. Pretty good taste though overall.

Dark brown-reddish pour with a thick, creamy tan head. Nutty aroma. Flavor is dark, nutty and toasted malts. Medium bodied. Nice malty finish. Pretty good!

Bottle. Pours an amber brown body with a tan head. Roasty bitterness, earth, caramel and some coco character. Thin body and the earthy bitterness hurts this one.

(bottle - 12 oz) Reddish/copper color with a creamy tan head. Aroma is sweet and malty with a subtle nutty note. Flavor is smooth and nutty with a lightly roasted caramel malt middle. Some chocolate appears near the end. Smooth and crisp with a very light bitterness after.
