Heineken Dark Lager:
Well hello all, come and sit down; let’s chat about beer and what all. Let’s revisit the douche beer line again with Heineken, but this time, lets throw the frat boys and metros for a loop and talk dark beer. Yes, a dark Heineken, which seems odd since we are all accustom to the green bottle and it’s lager contents. Luckily this beer is different in bottle color (brown vs. green) and it’s taste is more akin to a blended beer than a lager. The beer pours well with good carbonation and head and a nose of of caramel, roasted malts and a hint of chocolate (basically very similar to a Bock beer). The taste is a velvety smooth roast of caramel malts and a lager back. There isn’t much of an aftertaste but a slight hop flavor does linger on the roof of the mouth and back of the tounge. A much better beer than it’s blonde sibling and probably the light blonde sibling as well (haven’t tried that one yet so it’s just an assumption on my end). Not bad, probably wouldn’t be my first choice in a dark beer but an occasional bottle would be welcome.
