Darkhouse is a Czech Lager brewed with Czech and German grown malted barley, fermented low and slow with a quintessential Czech lager yeast, and naturally carbonated. This beer is dark but crisp and clean with notes of baker's chocolate, dark fruits and subtle roasted notes.

16 oz can into a Becker glass.
L: SRM 39-40 Pours black with a tiny bit of light glow at the base & top edge. Has a 1.25" rocky beige head with a cap, very light carbonation, OK head retention, recedes to edge foam, medium-thick broken lacing with lightly chunky banding.
S: Dark toasted and lightly smokey caramelized malts, roasted grains, distant chocolate.
T: Taste follows aroma with a hint of brown bread, a hint of dark fruits, slightly metallic, light zest & resin, dark bitter chocolate notes, has a toasty & zesty aftertaste.
F: Smooth medium to medium-light bodied mouthfeel with a medium-fast lightly drying finish.
O: Toasty, tasty, fairly clean, and easy to drink. Simple. Due to its lower ABV, you'll probably want a 2nd beer. This will pair well with many foods. It is excellent in its style.
