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.

Appearance: Pours a hazy, walnut brown body with a thin, wispy, white head. Smell: Aroma smelling of underperforming dark, nutty malts, light raisin fruitiness, and a pinch of hot chocolate mix. Taste: Mild maltiness displays an overall nuttiness and flavor of clearance aisle cocoa powder. Lightly sweet. Minor apple and raisin fruitiness. Faintly floral hops and bitterness. Though it was always light, the vague, unsweetened chocolate flavor is what you’re left with on the drying, crisp finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium, fine carbonation. Drinkability: Take it or leave it. I was hoping for more toasted bread qualities, but it kept giving me nuts! It’s shrug-inducingly acceptable, but when shopping for a dunkel, I prefer Ayinger’s Altbairisch Dunkel. That’s just me though!

Smells of dark roasted coffee malts and faint floral hops. Taste is similar to smell, well-balanced coffee malts with a pleasant hop back. Very nice dark lager.

Bottled Aug week 4. Poured dark brown with an off-white head. Aromas of burnt malts. The flavor is much more subdued malts. Light body. Just OK.

Dude sniffed it and said it had some poop in there. I think I picked it up. Kind of malty and crappy. Really thin. Not horrible for a dunkel, but you could do better.

12oz bottle from the mix pack. Pours medium brown with a half inch off-white head. Roasty coffee aroma with some hop and lots of malt. Malty flavor with roasty coffee and hop finish.

Pleasant sweet malt aroma. Mahogany pour, large tan head, well retained, ring after ring of lace on the glass, effervescent. Clean malt backbone, bread crusts and nuts mostly, somewhat sweet, some citrus on the finish. Somewhat thin in the body, but very drinkable. A superior session lager.
