Mike Loves Beer

Name - Penn Dark
Country - United States
Type - Munich Dunkel Lager

Appearance - Poured a deep brown color with very minimal sand colored head.

Smell - Subtle smells that are mostly malts.  A bit of chocolate and a roasted smell to it.

Taste - Some sweet malts that have hints of chocolate and brown sugar.  A slight roasted taste at the end.

I love when you can find a lager that is not typical of what most of America has come to think of lagers.  This one does that from it’s dark color to completely different smells and tastes.  While not the best lager I’ve ever had this is definitely a good one and would recommend it.

Overall Grade – B-

Name - Penn Oktoberfest
Country - United States
Type - Marzen

Appearance - Light amber color with a very, very minimal head.

Smell - Sweet malty smell.

Taste - Malty but not very strong on it’s taste. Sort of watered down.

With getting into the season of fall coming up I decided to give another “Oktoberfest” American brew a try. I know I had another Penn Brewing beer not to long ago and I like to try to space out tastings from particular breweries but I just got caught up in the upcoming season. I found this kind of disappointing as the taste was just not there. It was not that full and tasted a little watered down.

Overall Grade – D+
