Commercial Description:
Eastside Dark The rich, coffee-like aroma and flavor ot this find Dark Bavarian style lager beer is derived from a precise blending of three different specialty barley malts, chocolate, black patent, and Munich malt. Munich malt is also added to bring about the creamy body of this malty brew that has an original gravity of 1060. The most impressive aspect of ths brew is the perfect balance between the specialty malts and coveted Mt. Hood hops. Unlike many other dark beers, East Side Dark doesn't have the bitter aftertaste associated with it. Instead, your palate is greeted with the rich body and balanced flavor that only this beer can deliver.

Got this in a mix 12-pack I picked up while visiting Milwaukee. Not a bad brew, but nothing special.

Aroma is of coffee with some slight chocolate notes. Flavor is very similar but a slight watery palate that turned me off a bit.

Bottle... Poured a deep brownish/red with a thick, khaki head. Malted and toasty aroma. Big, foamy mouthful with roasted cocoa flavors, caramel and bready malts. Other flavors of dark fruits and a nutty, sugary syrup. No hops to be found which created a sweet, easy going finish.

Brown color like cola, reddish in the light, fades quick. Dark lager aroma, brown sugar and cola, toasted mild coffee, cinnamon, licorice at the end. Flavor is spicy cinnamon (akin to Anchor Christmas beer) over malted cola; lightly roasted dark malts and molasses. Balanced dark/sugary flavors. Feels bubbly and milky; sticks to the roof of the mouth. A very solid dark beverage, with roasted malts and cola dominating.

Aroma is strong, malty and yeasty with just a touch of cinnamon. It pours a somewhat transparent amber-brown with a thick and fairly persistent tan head - quite appetizing. Flavor is malty and hast a subtle undertone of molasses. Texture is smooth, a little fizzy and just a tad thin - this beer’s only weak point. Overall, a worthy brew.
