Pours amber with a mostly receding tan head. Aroma of caramel, rye bread, fresh malted barley. Taste is caramel, toffee, and a bit grainy and bready. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with soft carbonation. Pretty good for Löwenbräu!

Pours a deep dark amber color. Aromas of roast malts and hops. Big hop flavor, light body with almost no aftertaste.

Looks good - nice and dark, tastes good - some maltiness with some hops, not overpowering, but hardly any nose. This one was brewed by Löwenbräu in Toronto and is much better than when Miller had the license to brew it in Milwaukee.

friend offered me the swill while over at his house because he thougth this was a beer with some down good home cooked german flavor....not! basically like the original with some food coloring. possibly a bit more malty texture due to your eyes seeing brown and not nearly as skunked bitter that original always has. gotta love those adjunct macro gods!

much better than regular lowenbrau. however, the "dark" label is kind of a charade, like heineken dark. it is still remarkably similar to original lowenbrau, just with an amber color and a thicker body. i was expecting more from a dark german lager, but this was tasty nonetheless.

Not as rewarding as a dark beer should be. This lager did give me a different aftertaste then im used to from a lager.

This was the first ’dark’ beer I ever had. I was a bit surprised at the time, having only drank crappy Wisconsin macros until then. But after a couple I really enjoyed it. Now, I would rate this as an average ’dark’. Nice color, good malt flavor.
