Just a stone’s throw from DC Brau lies the infamous Colmar Manor Dueling Grounds, where Washington’s elite once settled scores with pistols in hand. Known as 'The Dark and Bloody Grounds,' it saw duels rage on—even after Congress outlawed them in 1839—until the eve of the Civil War. Honor demands satisfaction, and so does your thirst!!

Rich and malty, with pronounced toasted bread crust flavor, with
subtle background notes of brown sugar and toffee. Perfectly balanced, with a light pop of peppery hop spice, and a mild bitter backbone. Not too sweet, not too bitter, with a crisp finish that’s dry enough to keep you wanting more.

Clear bronze with strong effervescence and a large antique white head. Decent retention and lacing. Bready aroma. Strong toasted malts flavor with a slight kiss of cherry sweetness and slight metallic twinge. Medium bodied with modest prickly carbonation. Very solid brew.
