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. Sweet aroma with caramel and faint roast, light plastic, aspartame? Pours mahogany with a short, ephemeral light brown head. Initially crisp taste, lightly sour and acidic with chocolate malt and faint roast. Slight caramel and a little less nuts. Watery but sticky. A really thin Dunkel, it’s true, but the particular type of sweetness makes me think more of German alcopops and Mischgetraenke.

I love this stuff. I drank this the first time I went to Milwaukee with my friend Marc; and boy does it bring back the memories. Cola and slight smoky flavor. Rich dark brown color with very little head. Goes down easy. One to recommend to your friends.

Even brown translucent hue like a root beer soda. A small head that goes away quickly and no bubble action in the glass. Deep malt aroma mixed with ginger for a spicy and yummy smell. The most dominant taste is water, that actually rises above an out of place sour malt. Palate is expectedly light since water is the dominant taste. I know its designed as a lager but this beer doesn’t mesh well for my liking. Water, Sour, Salt - the flavors don’t mesh they follow each other.

Pours deep brownish with ruby edges and off-white head. Nose is rich dark malt, mild cacao, fig, almond, and hops. Tastes malty, with brown sugar, chocolate, figs, and backup hops, and stays rather complex and very refreshing to the last dregs.

Pours dark brown with a light, foamy head. Flavor is fairly sweet with a malty body. Caramel, chocolate, and coffee are the profiles around. Aroma is sweet and roasty. Moderate mouth feel.

Deep brown-amber beer, creamy tan head. Aroma is sweet and toasty with a kiss of cocoa. Fairly bready/toasty flavour with a lingering bready character. Lightly floral/spicy hop character. Fairly clean and straightforward, but it is quite nice. Lingering herbal bitterness.
