Brauerei Beck and Co.'s Beck's Dark

Well, I'm not sure why I bought this. I had never seen it before, and the notion of "Beck" and "dark" seemed so contrary that I was just plain intrigued.

Pours a deep coppery brown with a decent tan head that is small celled and goes quickly.

Smells like a German pilsner to me. It has that in-your-face skunk smell that I like about pilsners, with a hint of nut brown thrown in.

Smooth enough, certainly has more body that the standard Beck's, Carlson, or the like. Tastes like an adulturated pilsner. Not terrible, but oddly twangy and tastes like it's almost exclusively made of adjuncts.

Meh.
