Beck's Dark
The dark lager of the Beck's range, sold in the United States and brewed there for the American market. Despite its colour it is bottom-fermented rather than an ale; the brand credits the hue to specially roasted barley malt. It pours a deep copper to chestnut brown under a tan head. Toasted malt and caramel lead the nose, with a light roast and a hint of toffee. The palate is smooth and fuller than the pale Beck's, with notes of bread crust, soft cocoa and raisin over restrained hops, ending in a lingering, gently sweet finish.
