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.

An orange-brown dark with an atrocious head. A little smoked flavor hangs around this beer, which is noticeably heavier than a pale lager, and slightly sweet. Smokiness in the aroma as well. Not bad or great, just good in moderation.

Dark color. Smell of coffee and malt. Nice roasted coffee and malt taste. Bitter and dry at the end.

Nice coffee smell typical of some dark lagers. A little bit of a grassy flavor throughout and it had a bitterness throughout. I wouldn’t seek this one out again, but wouldn’t refuse if offered another bottle.

Pours brown with slight bronze tint. Slight head which disappears quickly. Nose is sweet and malty with underlying caramel tones. Flavor has creamy texture, not silky. Medium body. Sweet toasted malts with pleasant finish.

Pours deep brown. Light coffee nose, amost with a tiny hint of vinegar. Malty taste with coffee. Not bad, I guess, but nothing really stands out.

Copper, verging on brown. Nice sturdy head. Honey, spicy aroma. Flavors hints at molassess, whiskey and pepper, maybe cola, as well. Nicley, subtlely blended. Finishes kinda dry.

Pours a dark amber color with medium frothy tan head. Reeks of malt in fact that’s all I’m picking up. This beer is one-dimensional with a strong nutty malt flavor that doesn’t let anything else shine through. It seems very bitter and acidic. I had one of these a month ago and never rated it because I thought I had batch, apparently not. Finish is a bit thin as well.
