Commercial Description:
You have just picked up a Winner. Dark Horse Lager came from behind in a field of 2,832 to win a BRONZE MEDAL* at the Great American Beer Festival. This very well-balenced, deep copper brown lager has a great lightly hopped character with drinkability that leaves you wanting another.

tap at BW3 in Lancaster, Oh.... pours a mostly transparent cola brown with a very thin white head.... aroma of toasty munich malts and very little else to distinguishable..... flavors of sweet toasted caramel malt with some added roast. medium carbonation, sweet for the most part but finishes off on a slightly bitter bent but not too much.

Pours a cloa color with a small head.The nose was of some roastedness and burnt toast.This had a medium mouthfeel with hints of coffee and slight sweetness.It finished off with some hints of hops.Pretty solid.

Draft pint at the Elevator Brewing Company. Pours a dark brown. Very drinkable lager. Only negative is that it doesn’t have great depth.

<b>Objectively speaking:</b> A drinkable dunkel without any fruit character. <br /> <b>I like:</b> Obvious lager character feels clean, though it lends a wateriness all throughout. <br /> <b>I dislike:</b> Watery, dull thin body. Grainy malt profile with plain bread dominance. Limited roast or toast character.

A dark brown pour with a hint of red. An astringent coffee aroma. Flavor of medium coffee and toasted malt with a light bitter. A bit thin and foamy. A pretty good drinker overall.

Very dark porter brown, thin head. Dry, dark malt aroma &#045;&#045; like a toasty brown ale or porter. Medium tanginess, some cola, very light nutty/seedy quality that isn&#8217;t rightly a &#8217;sweetness&#8217;. Crisp, tangy finish. Only flaw was a little metal on the lips. Medium to medium light body. Very nice. Moderate roast without backlash aftertaste.
