Lakefront Eastside Dark

Bottle. Poured deep red brown with lasting tan head. Much lacing. Sweet malt aroma with a bit of hay. Medium malt flavour, not as full and rich as the puff, but pleasant. Medium finish. A drinkable dunkel.

Pour is a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma offers some roasted malts and a little chocolate. Flavor is a slight roasted malt with a sour finish. Nothing i would have to try again.

Butter’s 4th cellar reduction. Clear reddish brown with a tan head. Sour biscuit aroma but a mild watery taste.

Orangish brown in color. Light early morning breakfast blend coffee aroma. Sour tartness immediately upon tasting. Flat tasting. Yuk. Great potential that falls flat hard on its face. Bad bottle???

Bottle at the Fourth Butters’ Cellar Clearance Event. Pours a clear amber brown with no real head at all. Nose is malty with a twinge of sour. Flavor certainly has a sour cherry note. possible infection? Still not awful, but something might be off here.

12 oz bottle at Butters’ 4th Cellar Reduction. Pours an off-white slightly lacing head with a burnt copper body. Aroma is grassy and sweet roasted malt. Kind of sour with a roasted caramel sour finish.

12oz bottle. Pours a red brown with only a ring of white cream. Aroma is kinda sour and malty. Flavor is similar with a solid malt backbone and sour highlights. Interesting but not too much to bring me back.

Bottle: Brown pour with a ruby hue and a creamy tan head that lasts. The aroma is sweet malts- lots of dark caramel and light chocolate, quite fresh smelling. Creamy feel with a nice malt character encompassing a soft sweetness and toasted character. Dark caramel, later gritty cocoa toasted notes and perhaps a hint of smoke. Well balanced and tasty. A well done German style dark lager.
