Very decent American dark lager. Good roasted flavor, but not overpowering. Decent color, not too heavy, and very drinkable. If you’re in south Minneapolis, check it out on tap at the Chatterbox Pub where it’s the house specialty known as the Chatterbox Lager...

I thought this was some pretty good stuff. This was the cheapest of the Schell beers at the liquor store so I tried it and was somewhat impressed.

Bottle courtesy of MatSciGuy. Pours copper with a small tan head. Smells earthy with some dark fruity hints. Tastes of roasted malt and spicy with some nice caramel hints on the finish.

Pours dark brown with a little bit of a head. Light aroma of nutty malt. Sweet flavor. Decent.

Bottle. Pours golden brown with nice head. Looks fizzy but does not feel overcarbonated in the mouth. Palate surprisingly full. Nutty/sweet taste is pleasant but not very robust. Bonus points for pleasant drinkability. Maybe I am that cretin that doesn’t want "all the flavor" in my specialty craft.

The dark is misleading. Whilst not a bad beer, it lacks intensity. There’s a light sweetness to it, but the flavour is unremarkable. I drink it because it’s a good compromise between price and flavor. $2.25 for a 22oz draught here in town.

Picked up a 12-oz clear bottle. Oh oh, hope this one does not turn out to be "Skunky." Pours a clear copper brown brew (could use some more dark malt to be considered a dark beer) with a think, fast dissolving head. Lacing is fair. Aroma of bubblegum, brown sugar, some caramel and sweet flowery hops. Taste is sweet on the tongue, some caramel and a light citrus aftertaste. A little extra carbonation on the palate but still within a "dunkel" category.
