3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 iamsancho16 (99) - USA - NOV 17, 2006
This Michelob beer has a deep brown color too it, similar to an amber almost. Pretty smooth, and not too overpowering.

355ml bottle pours amber in color with a finger of white head that leaves no lacing behind. Aroma is light toasted malts and faint hops. Taste is light toasted malty sweetness with a mild hop bitterness. Not one of the better dark lagers out there, but it is smooth and easy drinking with no off flavors.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 bpreo (917) - Eugene, Oregon, USA - NOV 18, 2011
I might not be drinking the right beer, or maybe the label was changed, anyways. I am drinking "Michelob Amber Bock Dark Lager". It is pleasant and dark, but hard to escape the big MICHELOB on the label staring at me.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 futre7 (81) - Taipei, TAIWAN - OCT 13, 2011
Bottle , 7-11 Taipei City .Got some hateful reviews this one. Thoroughly undeserved also. I actually like Michelob and the dark isn’t a bad beer at all. Okay it isn’t a ’real’ dark beer but most of the lagers on the market are false tasting crappy macros. Nose is dark malt with a nice pour and thin head. It has a mild burnt malt taste with a thick malty mouthfeel. In Taiwan it’s 5.2% not 5% so the extra strength means yoiu get your moneys worth.
1.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 solidfunk (442) - Ontario, CANADA - AUG 29, 2011
I’m rating this on memory because I don’t really want to have to drink another one. I’m gonna second the dirty water comment below - I wouldn’t go so far as to consider it a proper dark, just crappy lager with food colouring.

Pours a lucid coffee brown, nose is like a wet dog and a struck match, tastes like dirty water.

Bottle. This one is mostly on memory. This was a favorite of mine back in college. My friends said it tasted like "motor oil". From what I remember it had a burnt toast, coffee type of taste. It was dark it color and I liked it. I guess I’ve always loved dark beer.

Overall Impression:
I have almost no recollection of this one at all, but I do have an old rating siting here, so I’ll add it to RB...
Old Rating: Tastes like Michelob but a different color
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 9/20 Beardface (1480) - Eugene, Oregon, USA - APR 29, 2009
Basically tastes exactly the same as the regular Michelob except that you get a hint of dark malts in the aroma and flavor. Still subpar, still better than most A-B products.
