Eastside Dark

Pours clear with a huge, tan, frothy head. The foam become frothier as it evanesce - quit the crazy level of retention. Aroma is malty but subtle. Toasted, sweet, and slightly roasted. Do a sense a bit of tartness in the finish too? Taste again is subdued with roasted and chocolate malts taking over. Toasted flavors are there too. A touch of chocolate bitterness in the finish. Medium body with a moderate amount of carbonation. Dries a bit. The beer was really light on aroma and taste, which is the building blocks for a beer. The tartness to the finish of the beer was interesting but I don't believe intentional. I would have it again, once in a great while. Enjoy!
