A dark lager with roasted chocolate and coffee notes. Part of the 1821 series which includes a super special, super secret ingredient from NDBC owners’ family village in Greece. You can guess what it is, but we’ll never tell…

On tap, rating to a porter or Baltic Porter (this is a lager according to the brewer’s site):
This is a dark brown beer with fair but fading lace. It smells of bakers chocolate and coffee. There’s a little caramel and roasted bitterness as well.
Fairly smooth, but pretty heavy, fairly bold. Chocolate, roasted (specifically coffee) bitterness. Fairly full feel for lager leads to smooth, creamy aspect.
For a lager, the feel is off, but it was nice irrespective of style. It doesn’t drink like a lager, more a bold porter nearing stout.

#4 of a flight of 4 selected by the bartender. Dark like a porter. Very little light gets through. It's described as a dark lager but is really more like a Belgian dark ale. Don't confuse this for a Dos Equis Dark! The best beer I had at New District.
