DAB Dark

◎ Appearance

DAB Dark presents a deep brown to near-black body with ruby highlights visible when held to light, characteristic of a well-crafted dark lager. The tan head forms cleanly and demonstrates moderate retention, settling into a thin collar with fine lacing around the glass. Clarity is good with minimal haze, and carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with toasted bread and subtle toast notes, grounded by the presence of roasted malt character. Gentle roasted malt undertones emerge alongside mild chocolate and coffee notes, creating a warming but not aggressive aromatic profile. Noble hop character contributes a restrained herbal backdrop without dominating the malt-forward impression.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and approachable, with the malt sweetness providing structure without heaviness on the medium-light body. Mid-palate develops the roasted malt and faint chocolate complexity, balanced by a gentle hop bitterness that remains low to medium. The sweetness and bitterness achieve equilibrium, neither overshadowing the other, while malt-derived flavors persist through the mid-section.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and mild, with a restrained hop bitterness providing closure without assertiveness. Aftertaste fades cleanly, leaving only a faint toast and malt memory on the palate.

Serve at 4–7°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The sturdy German stein maintains temperature and keeps carbonation intact. Built for long, convivial drinking.
