The pour is dark brown with ruby highlights. Virtually no head at all. No lacing either. Low, appropriate carbonation. The nose is toasted/burnt malt and grain, alcohol, and...that's about it. Not much on the nose.
Flavour is incredible. Dark fruit, plum, roasted malt, slight hops. Where is the alcohol? It's a sneaky one. Medium mouthfeel. Very drinkable - at least until you have 4 and fall over I would imagine.
Rating is 7.75/10 dogs. According to the brewer's website - Jurgen Knoeller, brewmaster at Bayern, developed the dark lager to be much more smooth than other traditional dark beers, such as stouts and porters. He designed it to be "a treat after a long day in the oilfields."
I could find no other reviews for this beer at all. Apparently it is a limited or seasonal release from Bayern. I am really liking the offerings so far from Bayern - Bakken Bock, Dancing Trout and Dragon's Breath. I look forward to the next time we travel to MT for beer so I can try more of their brews as they seemed to be quite common. Check out the brewer's website at http://www.bayernbrewery.com/
