Commercial Description:
This traditional lager is medium in body with a deep roasted character. Its dark color and rich malty flavor come from specially roasted caramel and chocolate malts. This brew is lightly hopped with Noble Bavarian hops for a soft spiciness and a smooth clean finish. Cheers!

This is a bit blah, a bit bland as somewhat expected from such a large brewer. There are slight notes of flavor here and there but generally unsubstantial.

Bottle. Nice deep brown color that appears black with a decent beige head. Aroma of some chocolate and a hint of roastiness. Light chocolate and caramel are the central flavors, some slight roastiness peaks through in the finish, but now much. A bit thin, but I am used to heavy imperial stouts, so it probably isn’t as thin as it seems. Still a pretty nice beer that I can enjoy.

Chocolate/coffee on the nose. Dark brown/black. Seems a little off balance...could use some more malt. Palate was thin, nice carbonation, seemed nitrogen like (similar to their Scotch Ale). Not very remarkable.
