Commercial Description:
This mysterious mahogany colored lager will intrigue you with its rich malty taste tempered by just enough hops to keep the flavor balanced and the drinker guessing. Its got a strong 8% abv, and a long smooth finish that lingers on the palate like

Loved this beer. Wonderfully complex with figs and dried cherries, finishing with a cranberry bite. Full bodied like a doppelbock. Fantastic.

The bartender told me this was their "sweet lager" and it was exactly that. Brown head, brown translucent color with red hues. WAY too sugary and lightly malty. Might be alright for a pint, but too much for a session.

From a growler from the Bowie location. At first taste, I drew back with an "ew" look on my face. My wife says, "keep drinking it, it gets better." lol. Red’ish brown in color (but not amber). Not much in the way of an aroma. Kind of smells a bit sweet. Tastes like a bock at first, but doesn’t really follow through. Kind of a copper-y aftertaste.

Mahogany – raisin colored body. No head – no lace. Light plum nose. Raisin flavor with molasses, caramel malt and a touch of hops. Slight sour finish. After taste is also a bit tin like.

From a growler thanks to LordMaynard. Clear amber body with small, fading, off-white head. The aroma is caramel, lots of dark fruits and banana. The flavor is raisins, plums, light cherry and caramel. Medium body with soft carbonation.
