Dark--too dark?--black lager with creamy head that traces nicely in the glass (quite attractive)...thick brown half-inch head...malt/hops are nondescript--chocolate? not so much... slight effervescent... textures on the tongue feigns a porter more than a dunkel... soft toasted malts add a weight to the experience--smooth and swift with hints of corn... a dark lager that has little dunkel quality--pleasantly toasty for the colder evenings.. Saranac seems to have a circle of winter beers that run together in taste, and this is certainly one of them...

Jul 20, 2008 From the winter pack. Poured brown, light head. Light roasted aroma with mocha. Tastes similar, malt and hop characteristics balance out very nicely. solid body, clean hop finish. Closer to a brown ale than an amber. Worth a try.

May 19, 2008 Bottle: Pours brown with a light tan head. Aroma, chocolate and caramel, some toasted notes. Flavor, chocolate, caramel, slight earthy hops, not very good.

May 18, 2008 It has a dark murky brown color with dark red highlights. The head is tan in color, foamy and leaves nice lace on the glass. There is a dark malty aroma with a heavy toasted flavor. There are some chocolate notes as well as some mildly bitter hops within a creamy smooth medium bodied palate. This is a very good offering from the Saranac family of beers.

May 13, 2008 Nice! It’s aroma was very nice, with some definite dark roasted malts. It’s color and appearance were beautiful, with a dark brown color and fluffy white head. It’s flavor was malty, dark chocolate, and some alcohol. It’s smooth. Very good.
