Two things are true in a Millpond x Little Lager collab: fantastic beer, and the label’s a banger.
This latest Black Lager collab checks both boxes.
Shaking Dice rolls in smooth with subtle roast, soft cocoa, and a clean, crisp finish.
Lager through and through — light-bodied, refreshing, and easy to put down, even when the temps are up.
Think black t-shirt energy in beer form: cool, classic, and surprisingly breathable.

3.62. Clear black with dark brown hues. Big cocoa powder and light roasted malt aroma and flavor. Good balance with a light touch of sweetness. Fairly light bodied, thin and a bit flat.

Appearance: Pours a translucent coffee color with a one finger ecru head that slowly fades to a film; speckles of lacing
Smell: Toasted brown bread with a hints of chocolate and licorice
Taste: Roasted flavors forward with a rich toasted brown bread aspect; hints of chocolate and licorice appear, with the licorice aspect growing, after the swallow
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate to high carbonation
Overall: An interesting twist on the style with the licorice aspect, which I particularly enjoyed
