Had at 3 Floyd's in a dimple mug.
L: Dark brown, mildly opaque, light tan head.
S: Toasted malt.
T: Nice roastiness and caramel - with a tad bit of sweet chocolate.
F: Medium body, nothing to write home about but I think the point of this beer is to focus on the taste.
O: Enjoyable dark lager.

16oz draft pour into a Bavarian Lodge branded becher glass is a mostly opaque deep, dark brown color with a light, and quickly disappearing, tan head.
Aromas are roasted malt and lighter coffee.
Flavors lean more malty with much less coffee and an almost chewy caramel.
Feel is lighter than one might assume, per the style.
Nice by the fire.

Dark brown in color.
Roasted malts with some coffee notes. Smokey with bacon flavors. Some chocolate and caramel.
Medium bodied. Dry and roasted feel.
Decent, but it's tough to drink a lot of this one.

Appearance: Dark muddy brown in my generic pint glass at a local Beef O’Brady’s, with a light head of tan. Thin, wispy lace.
Aroma: Caramel malty. A little toasty with some almost roasty malts.
Taste: Caramel, chewy, with notes of roasted chocolate malts. Not much hoppiness evident here, but this is a rich and full-bodied ale that’s not bad at all and easy to drink. Solid, if unremarkable.
