hopIQ found 10 beers with the same roasted and dry character as 4 Pines Dark Lager. Deep brown to black, with ruby edges when held against the light. Roasted malt leads the aroma with chocolate and coffee, backed by a bread-crust note. The body is medium, the hop profile light at 15 IBU, and the beer finishes crisp and dry rather than sweet. Cold fermentation keeps the roast clean, so at 4.5 percent the dark malt brings flavour without weight. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
