Space Case is our take on a German Style Dark lager. Roasty, malty, but balanced. Hints of chocolate.

Roasty aroma, roasted coffee, earthy.
Deep and dark color, impenetrable to even a back-light. Khaki / dark tan head, thick and creamy initially, with a nice-looking cascade from a vigorous pour settling to 1/2 inch of thick head. Very good looking beer. Head retention is not too great, though. Cap and ring before too long.
Taste is earthy and roasty. Mild initially, with a moderate level of bittering starting in the middle and carrying on into the finish, resulting in a dry, almost Irish stout finish and aftertaste. Very slight dark fruit taste lingers.
Mouth feel is moderate toward the substantial side.
Overall, a tasty beer, but it seems to me to be more of a dry stout in the Irish tradition than a dunkel in the German tradition: roasty, dry, and earthy. It lacks the caramel/brown sugar I expected from the style, and the dark fruit flavors are mere hints in the aftertaste. Nonetheless, it is well brewed and enjoyable so long as your heart is not set on a dunkel.
