A classic German black lager through and through. This beautifully dark yet crushable lager delivers balanced notes of lightly roasted coffee, freshly baked bread and a hint of toffee. When will then be now? Soon!

It pours very dark brown with a tan head. It has average head retention. It has medium roast coffee flavors. It is smooth and easy drinking.

16oz can from tavour. Dark brown pour, small foamy beige head subsides. Roasty malt aroma with notes of chocolate. Taste brings mild sweetness, light bitterness, burnt toast flavors. Lovely heft to this brew, goof feel.

Nice dark lager with a roasted malt/cocoa-coffee taste.
