We rate/review for style, and this while a fine beer, was a very odd amber ale. Dark reddish brown mostly opaque pour with a tan head. Aromas of earthy hops with dark yeast, sweet amber malt and dark grains. Taste has big, more irish red ale maltwork leading with earthy hops, light cocoa dusting and pumpernickel bread supporting. Feel is more resinous and hoppy than what was reported in other aspects, medium bodied and crisp. Feels caught between different styles

Clear, dark brown body; dense carbonation; fairly thick head, light khaki colored, semi-creamy and lasting. Nice aroma; subtle; light roasted grain scent with a hint of cocoa. The taste amplifies the smell; rich cocoa flavor, lightly sweet; low-key bitterness; light milk chocolate; subliminal nut-like taste. Medium-heavy feel; smooth and silky; semi-sweet mouthfeel overall; creamy.
A nice, smooth, and easy drinking dark lager.

16oz can from Tavour. Dark brown pour with a fadin beige head. This is not an amber lager. A Munich dunkel, not bitter enough to be a schwarzbier. Roasty aroma, burnt toast, chocolate. taste is mildly sweet, roasty, nutty. Incredibly smooth and tasty.

Pours a clear dark chestnut color. Thin, weak, fleeting tan colored head forms on the beer momentarily. The overall appearance is actually remarkably like cola. Aroma is fantastic - its rich, malty, somewhat bready, with notes of vanilla, nuts and a hint, no - a whiff of coffee coming through.
Taste follows the nose with the nutty malts taking center stage along with notes of pumpernickel, cocoa, again a fleeting hint of coffee, and some mild earthy hops on the back end. Very mild sweetness is present. Feel is light, easy drinking, and smooth. Medium, but prickly carbonation. Somewhat powdery on the finish.
Overall its an incredibly tasty beer. This is exactly what I want to drink on a cool crisp fall evening around the campfire. It honestly is pretty reminiscent of a nice brown ale - but obviously they are calling it an American Dark lager - in that regard its probably closest to a Czech Dark Lager. Delicious beer and one that Id drink repeatedly if it was readily available.

Pours a dark, dark cola brown. When backlit, a small amount of light creeps in around the edges, but other than that, this is totally opaque. Head is khaki colored, fizzy and short-lived. Aroma is absolutely fantastic. Just loads of roasted malts, nuts & faint coffee. Very appealing.
Taste largely follows. Malt, bread, hints of chocolate and a good amount of roast. No bitterness makes this very clean & smooth. A tiny bit of residual sweetness. Light in body with medium carbonation. Just super easy going down. Great beer.
