Beers similar to Ridge Tree

Dark Lager·United States·4.5% ABV·One of 33 Dark Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Ridge Tree's chocolate and toasty character. Rich cacao and toasted pumpernickel fill this pitch-black lager, with dried date aromas, a welcome bitterness and a warming, dry finish. Floor-malted Bohemian dark pilsner malt, roasted German malts and Czech Saaz hops build it, and at 4.5% ABV Ridge Tree pours dark but drinks like a hearty light lager.
