Astringent mocha scent turns acidic on the tongue, upsetting quickly fading roasted nuttiness of cola-flowing lager. Closer to weak, indistinct brown ale. Brewery defunct: 2006.

Silky pale amber medium-bodied “dunkel”" (dark) lager retains moderate caramel creaminess and gentle roasted barley-candied malt sweetness, but hindered fruit blandness, stifled earthiness, and faint smokiness lost in midst.

Pungent hop-grain confluence politely embitters single malt Scotch flow. Wood tones and cardboard edge half-sweetened to thick black molasses finish.

Premier garnet-hued German dark retains chocolate-molasses overtone and raisin footnote to soft sucrose finish. Smooth nutty mocha ambiance reminiscent of delicious light porter.

Sharp hop roast embitters sugary malt splurge, bruised orange endurance, and ester-y red fruit murmur of fascinating Vienna-styled ruby-hued clear-bottled lager. Copper ale-like subtleties (faint nut, dusky mocha, tinny finish) absorb soft water crisping, mildew-y maple earthiness, and dank charcoal-tobacco illusions.

Dry auburn-hued German dark lager brings honeyed wheat, toasted barley, and caramelized nuttiness to less salient soured chocolate malt finish. Minor tobacco roast knocks back slight astringency.
