🌍 Australia · Dark Lager · One of 23 Dark Lagers in hopIQ

A dark lager at 4.2 % ABV, brewed with roasted malts and hopped lightly with Pacifica and Saphir. It pours deep brown to near black and opens with a gentle, velvety roast, followed by milk chocolate, cocoa and a hint of toasted bread crust. The lager yeast keeps the body lighter than the colour suggests and the finish crisp and clean, with modest bitterness around 18 IBU. It was introduced for the colder months in 2021 and now belongs to the regular range.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for All Night Long

Appearance

Deep brown to near-black pour with excellent clarity and a stable, tan head that leaves fine lacing down the glass. The color depth belies a lighter body than expected, characteristic of the lager's restrained malt bill and clean fermentation. Carbonation is visible but moderate, appropriate to the style.

deep brown to blackclearfine head lacing

Aroma

The nose opens with a gentle, velvety roasted malt character anchored by cocoa and milk chocolate. Subtle toasted bread crust notes emerge beneath, while the Pacifica and Saphir hops contribute only the faintest herbal whisper rather than any assertive hop presence. Overall the aroma is soft and approachable, with no sharp edges.

Taste

Entry is smooth and malty, with cocoa and bread crust flavors building through the mid-palate. The body stays lighter than the color suggests, kept lithe by clean lager yeast fermentation and moderate carbonation. Bitterness is modest at 18 IBU, providing structure without dominance, and finishes crisp and dry.
