Victory All Malt Dark Lager

Brewed by Victory Brewing Company
Style: Dunkel
Downingtown, Pennsylvania USA

Pours clear dark brown. Aroma of caramel and sweet malt. Flavor is sweet malt and caramel. Clean finishing malt bomb.

Dark copper, light brown head diminishing. Smells toffee, tangerines, coffee roast, subdued spiciness. Tasty gooey caramel malts bouyed by nice carbonation, clean, spicy finish. Clean, crisp, malty. Very drinkable. Too sweet to be a dunkel, though. Malt profile more like a Vienna. Very nice.

Tap/ Bottle: Malty sweet aroma leads to much of the same in the flavor. Not as big in the flavor dept as I thought it would be which lead to me being a little let down.

Hazy light brown body with a diminishing, smooth, off white head. Aroma is malt but lacks somewhat in intensity. The flavor is crisp with just enough malty balance to make this a decent brew. Still not at the top of the list of Dunkels however.

At last a beer that smells, looks and finally tastes like a beer should! Perhaps my quest is over and I’ve found a new favorite. This stuff was exquisite. Overall a balance of perfectly blended grains that hit the spot and made me want another just to savor again.

Bottle. Murky brown with slight red on the edges.Head starts off medium but quickly turns to just a few scattered bubbles, not pretty. Aroma is malt syrup with a mellow fruittiness. Taste is roasted malts in a sticky sweet malt juice. Is Victory slacking lately or what? If I wasn’t so thirsty, I woulda poured it where it belongs.

Nice deep red colorm litle layer of a head, soft carbonation. Laces on glass. Nice light malt nose, also caramel. Nice light malty taste, thick and medium lasting.

Peaty and sweet nose with some caramel. Deep cherry color and a sticky head. Starty with a subdued front that bursts into a sweet maple syrup finish. Low bitter. Clean palate and pretty smooth. Excellent balance.
