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.

Bottle. Poured a reddish brown, thin beige head. Aroma is somewhat sweet, nutty, and mettalic. Flavor is earthy, malty, with some chocoalte. Thin bodied, finish is watery. Pretty disappointing.

Poured very dark brown. Aroma of roast malt and cocoa. Taste was much the same, roast malt and cocoa with a touch of bitterness. A bit thin, but very drinkable.

Bottle. Poured deep red brown with lasting tan head. Much lacing. Sweet malt aroma with a bit of hay. Medium malt flavour, not as full and rich as the puff, but pleasant. Medium finish. A drinkable dunkel.

Pour is a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma offers some roasted malts and a little chocolate. Flavor is a slight roasted malt with a sour finish. Nothing i would have to try again.

Orangish brown in color. Light early morning breakfast blend coffee aroma. Sour tartness immediately upon tasting. Flat tasting. Yuk. Great potential that falls flat hard on its face. Bad bottle???

Bottle at the Fourth Butters’ Cellar Clearance Event. Pours a clear amber brown with no real head at all. Nose is malty with a twinge of sour. Flavor certainly has a sour cherry note. possible infection? Still not awful, but something might be off here.

12 oz bottle at Butters’ 4th Cellar Reduction. Pours an off-white slightly lacing head with a burnt copper body. Aroma is grassy and sweet roasted malt. Kind of sour with a roasted caramel sour finish.
