This Dark Lager pours a clear, medium-brown body and half an inch of tan head that settles to a spotty dusting and tall ring, leaving a few spots of lacing on the glass. The nose is deliciously malty with lots of toasty, dark bread, wort, a hint of chocolate, earthy mushrooms, and a piney aroma that smells like hop pellets. On the palate, gently roasty malts offer flavors of dark bread, earthy logs, chocolate, and mild coffee. Hops don't dominate, but they have a really nice piney flavor with light bitterness. The beer is light-medium in weight, medium in carbonation, and the mouthfeel is dry and slightly dusty, but the finish does seem a bit watery. Overall, this is a super drinkable dark beer with delicious malt flavor, balanced hops, and a very pleasant earthiness that seems to define these Cascadian Dark beers.
