Warsteiner Dunkel

One of my favorite German dark lagers, puts the crap Shiner and many US brewers pump out to shame. Pours a deep raisin-like brown. paque-ish, with a nice light tan head that stays.

Smells zippy, more like a lighter lager than expected. Still has a deeper malt than the straight lagers, with a bit of the funk of a German pils.

Pretty much the same in the taste--darker than usual in appearance, a little heavier and slower than most lagers, but still nice and light with a decent bitterness and malt.

No tterriby sexy, but well worth it.
