O.K. I have to admit I don't know which kind of dark lager it should be termed... so why not the vague category "Euro dark lager"...?

A: it pours a very dark brownish hue, with a rimmed foam, and very low carbonation--although looking too flat for a draught lager~~
S: deep-running but not too sweet note of caramelised brown sugar, along with dried longan fruit, oriental dark-grass jelly, crystal and lager malt on top of refreshingly hoppy aroma... really nice.
T: besides the deep-running and semi-sweet taste of roasted malts and very light chocolatey flavour, there's a bit of burned-brown sugar's bitter sweet flavour attached to the palate, with more aromatic hops as a balancer in the background.
M: lively mouthfeel of lager on top of a soft touch of crystal malt-like settled mouthfeel... refreshing yet smooth thanks to natural CO2, giving the beer a pleasant creamy texture throughout.
D: overall it's a medium-light bodied yet flavoursome dark lager--not as sweet and pronounced malty as some Czech version I tasted during my trip there two months ago, but this one is very softly nice and tasty indeed. Extremely drinkable!
