COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Exhibiting a deep, chestnut color and malty aroma All Malt Dark Lager is a very inviting beer. Mildly malty, with little lingering sweetness to note, Dark Lager is surprisingly refreshing. This is beer as it was meant to be, firm and satisfying. Seasonal specialty available January - April on draft.

Ungstrup (26267) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - NOV 2, 2005
An orange beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel, and the flavor besides the caramel also have some roasted notes, leading to a dry end. Boring.

Ratman197 (7633) - Arvada, Colorado, USA - JUL 22, 2007
On tap @ Falling Rock poured a clear dark amber with a small lingering amber head. Aromas of carmel, fruitiness and a hint of vanilla. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of carmel, light fruitiness and a hint of licorice with a smooth semisweet finish.

JoeMcPhee (7625) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 16, 2008
Tap at Blind Tiger. Deep amber beer. No head. Aroma is strange, lightly herbal and toasty. Earthy and lightly chewy with a light herbal bitterness and a bit of light earthiness. Soft bitterness with some light chewy maltiness. Earthy and a little bit chewy. It’s not bad. Lingering crackery malts.

CaptainCougar (7093) - Columbia, Maryland, USA - JUL 12, 2005
Sampled at the RBSG ‘05 bottle tasting courtesy of Dickinsonbeer: Pours a dark copper amber with a lightly-lacing light tan head. Aroma is nicely malty and bready wit good German lager characteristics. Body has a pleasant, mild sweetness with good hop balance and drinkability. An enjoyable brew.

DocLock (6800) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 19, 2004
Pours dark brown with medium head. Good aroma of malt, nuts, and caramel. Tastes malty, slightly nutty, with some sweetness at the end. Nice style.

jercraigs (6477) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 13, 2005
RBSG 2005. Amber brown body, smallish white head. (3+) Sweet malt and caramel aroma is quite nice. Flavour is similar to the aroma, with malt and caramel and mild toasty notes. While pleasant, it is less robust than hoped for from the aroma. Average palate. Quaffable and servicable, but lacking complexity.

Rastacouere (6045) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - JUL 28, 2005
Light off-white head quickly leaves the medium brown body. Fairly light flavors, bready maltiness pairing along an almost nutty, fruity toasted malt aspects. Good sweet-dry balance. More roastiness than most. Satisfying light body, perhaps a bit too tart, though we’re mostly talking fruit acids.
