On tap at the restaurant: The special of the night...this was titled Dark Knight and came with a bourbon chaser. This had nice roasted and chocolate flavors that was round and soft in the mouth. Much better than the Lager but still a bit below average for what we have available to us in Chicago.

Dec 1, 2008 All Berghoff brews seem to have the same base flavoer. This one is no different only slitly dark.

Nov 26, 2008 Found in the bargain bin at Dominick’s, for $1.98 a six-pack. Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a dark caramel colored body topped by a small, quickly diminishing head of off-white foam. Weak malt aroma, not offensive, not much of anything. Sharp effervescence, with a sweet flavor that diminishes quickly, leaving a slight bittersweet aftertaste. The palate is on the sweet side, favoring the malts, though I couldn’t pick up much else due to the carbonation. I think that this isn’t too bad, and was worth the bargain bin price, though it certainly doesn’t rank highly in my book...

Oct 19, 2008 $5 for a twelve pack...Can’t beat that. Pours a dark amber color with a white head. Aroma is of earthy malts, cola, and faint hops. Taste made me cringe, and not in a good way. Tasted of toasty malts, grass, and hops.

Oct 18, 2008 on tap at Ohara Airport. Not much different from Amber Ale. A little more earthy and certainly darker but similar.

Sep 26, 2008 This is pretty terrible. Murkey dark color, barely any aroma. Slightly toasted taste, though not much there. Yeah, it’s better than most macros, so?
