I recently sampled a bottle of Beck’s Dark beer, and I was impressed by the overall quality of the imported beverage.
The beer and others under the Beck’s label are brewed by Beck’s Brewery or as they say in Germany, Brauerei Beck and Co. This internationally known brewery, which dates back to 1873, is located in Bremen, Germany.
I like “dark” beer, and this one reminded me of my all time favorite, Guinness Stout. Beck’s Dark contains 4.8 percent alcohol by volume and 146 calories per 12-ounce serving.
When poured into a clear glass from its green bottle, the beer has an impressive amber color and little foam. A strong whiff conjures up an aroma of malt and a slight grainy smell. It tasted great and was sort of thin for a German dark beer.
On the downside, the bottle doesn’t have a twist-off cap. When it comes to beer, I like the no extra equipment approach.
Overall, I give it a B+.
For those of you who have tried Beck’s Dark and like it, you might want to try one of the 12 other beverages produced by Beck’s. They include regular Beck’s, Beck's Blue (alcohol free), Beck's Premier Light, Beck's Gold, Beck's Green Lemon, Beck's Green Lemon Alcohol Free, Beck's Chilled Orange, Beck's Level 7, Beck's Ice, Beck's NEXT, Beck's Oktoberfest and Beck's VIER.
(And, as always, don’t be an idiot. Drink responsibly and never drink and drive.)
