Lakefront Eastside Dark

Lakefront East Side Dark is a delicious Munich Dunkles. This beer pours to a deep brown color with a tan head, and a moderate amount of carbonation. The nose is quite malty, with a touch of roasty aromas. The palate is firm with some nice sweet malt flavors paired with some good roasty flavors as well. This beer finishes with more roast, and enough hop presence to balance. This beer is very smooth, clean and drinkable, as a great lager should be. An excellent domestic version of dunkles from a great brewery. I would match this with a Milwaukee German Fest favortie, "German pizza". Pizza with Swiss cheese, saurkraut, grilled onions, and slices of bratwurst. Have a few slices, and a few from the Dark Side

This really surprised me with how good it is. It’s dark copper with a big, light tan head that slowly shrinks to a permanent 1" head. The aroma is very nice, grain, dark bread, crust, hints of chocolate, caramel, and pine. The taste is similar, mostly fresh, moist whole-wheat bread, hints of earth abd pine, very light hints of caramel, herbs, and chocolate. It’s zesty but very smooth, easy to drink, yet complex and full of flavour.

One of my tob beers from one of the two best breweries in the Brew City (and no, the other top brewery is not Miller, even though they make decent beer). I have drank this beer for years, and just realized I have never rated it. A crime my drunk-a$$ is making up for right now.

Nice coffee/malt aroma. Complex chocolate, coffee, caramel, malt and toffee flavor. Creamy taste with light carbonation.

12oz brown bottle from The Lighthouse in Manchester as part of this brewery’s sampler 8-pack. Pours dark brown with ruby-red highlights and a half inch of light tan head. Smells like chocolate, caramel, with just the slightest hint of hops. Tastes chocolatey and nutty with smoke and fruit notes on the finish. Full bodied with ample carbonation helps make this dunkel even more drinkable. Very tasty - a really solid dunkel.
