Schell Dark

Brewed by August Schell Brewing Company
Style: Dunkel
New Ulm, Minnesota USA

Very decent American dark lager. Good roasted flavor, but not overpowering. Decent color, not too heavy, and very drinkable. If you’re in south Minneapolis, check it out on tap at the Chatterbox Pub where it’s the house specialty known as the Chatterbox Lager...

The color of the beer is a bold brown, mostly clear, minimal head. The aroma has a strong note of caramel malt; hops are definitely present as well. I like the flavor as well; the caramel really comes through, and the palate is not rough. Schell’s Dark was a beer I had very little foreknowledge of; it turns out that it’s quite good! I recommend it.

Bottle. Pour is brown with copper hue and creamy head that dissipates to a ring on top. Aroma has bread and some sweet malt notes. Taste is mild and bitter bread. Palate is thin like water with a chaulky feel. I enjoy this one by schell.

Nothing special here, but again easy to drink. Roasted malts. Clean-watery taste with light carbonation.

I thought this was some pretty good stuff. This was the cheapest of the Schell beers at the liquor store so I tried it and was somewhat impressed.

Another good effort from August Schell Brewing Company. Has a really nice color to it, reds, oranges, yellows, and browns in swirling layers. I am quickly becoming a fan. I have three more to sample yet.

Copper brown pour with a razor-thin white head. Aroma of some malts and roasted nuts. The flavor is a very light roasted malt with a hint of nuts. The lightness isn’t a bad thing here, it adds to the refreshing body. A good summer session beer.

Bottle courtesy of MatSciGuy. Pours copper with a small tan head. Smells earthy with some dark fruity hints. Tastes of roasted malt and spicy with some nice caramel hints on the finish.
