To go with my dinner for tonight, I decided to go with the Krombacher Dark from Germany (http://www.krombacher.com). I'm pretty sure I got this beer back in September, and I finally got around to drinking it now.
The beer poured a very dark brown into a pilsner glass. Gorgeous four finger head (vigorous pour) with plenty of retention and fluffy goodness. Plenty of lacing on the sides of the glass. Aromas of malt and some light chocolate, maybe some metal..?
It didn't have a heavy flavor profile. Malt, grain, a little bit of metal makes up the taste. I know that people like bold, big, flavors, and while you may not get that here, I thought that it was a pretty good beer for the type. The light flavors and body makes this easy drinking. Medium carbonation gives a little bit of spiciness. The metallic taste reminds me of Red Oak, and since I like that taste, I have no problems with Krombacher. I'd have again.
Grade: B
Price Paid: $2.29 (12 oz bottle)
