Guinness Black Lager

Brown with reddish highlights. Pitted, frothy tan head. Head fades badly with little or no lace. Nose has some mid-caramel notes and not much else. The body here is quite thin but the tastes definitely have some of the typical Guinness roast,...

Moa Noir

Hazy, reddish-brown pour with a small one finger head and very little lace or retention. Nose and tastes are simple and slightly nutty. In that respect the first impression of this beer are much more in the brown ale area of things rather than as a...

Beerlao Dark

Single from Camp Creek Beverage, Atlanta, GA, USA. Pour gives a mid-brown body with a good degree of clarity and an impressive, high, white head. Not a great deal of lace but decent to look at. Nose and tastes give that typical, sweet, malty...

San Miguel Dark Lager

Single from Total Wine @ Perimeter, Atlanta, GA, USA. I wouldn't go as far as to say that I "like" this beer, but what I will say is that it pretty much nails the style. Now, whether or not you consider that to be a good thing is a different...

McSorley’s Irish Black Lager

12 oz single, Total Wine, Atlanta, GA, USA. Much like its brother, this beer owes more to the marketers than it does the brewers. I liked this about the same as the "Pale" Ale, but again it seemed very mediocre and a beer that is searching for a...

Leinenkugel’s Fireside Nut Brown

12 oz single from Mac's Midtown, Atlanta, GA, USA. Winter Warmer?? No it isn't. Frankly this drinks like a maple nut or honey infused brown ale. There were words on the label that said something like "infused with natural flavors" - a bit of a...

Bernard Cerne

It's a little difficult work out if this is the correct beer, but I am pretty sure that it is. The label and bottle look identical except for the word "Dark" rather than "Cerne", but ABV etc. matches. $2.99 from Arbor Place Beverage, Douglasville,...

Efes Dark

12oz clear bottle with raised lettering - attractive. $1.50 as a single from Green's on Buford, Atlanta, GA, USA. Pour is cola like - in fact almost EXACTLY like a Coke, including the lack of head, color and body! Nose revela strong malts and a...

Afanasy Tyemnoye

Well, interesting one this. 11.2 fl oz bottle that is a very attractive sight with its pyramid shape and some interesting raised lettering a the base of the bottle - I'm gonna keep this one, its decorative. ABC-3513 on the cap. $1.19 from Michael's...

Podkovan Dark

$2.19, 500 mL bottle, Arbor Place Beverage, Douglasville, GA, USA. Like its lighter brother, this bottle has a higher expectation than the actual beer ultimately delivers. To be fair the body and look is decent enough with good clarity and a decent...

Saranac Chocolate Amber Lager

Not bad, pretty decent chocolate color with some lacing and a a thin, small head. Good malt base, some roasted and dark fruit with a hint of smoke and a hint of chocolate. Easy drinking with a very light bitterness. Nothing to write home about, but...

Baltika #4 Original (Dark)

Baltika #4 Original (Dark)

Additional notes 10/10/23 (pictured) Close to 20 years ago that I made the notes below. Gulp. This was $3.99 from Belmont Beverage, State St., Fort Wayne, IN. Pour is not as clear as 20 years ago, and although the mid-copper colored pour is itself...
