This traditional German-style lager was brewed back in October and emits a beautiful auburn hue with deep, rich layers of caramel and toasted flavor notes. German Magnum and Select hops used in the brew kettle provide a balanced bitterness to a malt-dominant style.

On-tap at the Revolution brewpub. 5oz taster filled to the brim.
A - Hard to comment on head volume, but there was a thin collar and some wisps on top but no lacing. Transparent amber-brown body.
S - Bready, with light caramel, nuts, and banana, a bit spicy actually. Toasted grains, and a somewhat unexpected phenolic yeast character that I'd expect more from a dunkelweizen than a doppelbock.
T - The taste is more stylistically accurate, with with lots of bread, touches of roast, nuts, cocoa, and faint fruitiness. Mildly bitter and lightly smokey finish.
M - Smooth medium body, with lower carbonation. Hearthy and bready, with no obvious alcohol.
D - Decent, but nothing particularly exciting. The aroma was understated and a bit strange, but otherwise this was OK. Haven't been overly impressed with Revolution's lagers so far.

Served up on tap at the Kedzie brewery. Quick review from notes.
Sanguine look, still and glassy, deep saturated copper brown color. Very little lace to speak of, a microscopic amount really.
Nutty toasted malt aromas, smooth and subdued, not much else.
Similar flavors, more nutty malts dominating with a pretty smooth feel. Dry aftertaste, substantial feel. Had about three of the small glasses, so it was imminently drinkable, in the words of the late and venerable Mr. Michael Jackson.

Served at the 3rd year crazy party paired with a delicious beef skewer.
