Brewed for midwinter 2019, Ogdens' Dark Lager arrives as a Schwarzbier / Dunkel hybrid. While not as visually dark as the former, the malt focus asserts its Germanic inspiration as well as head brewer Damo’s classical outlook.
Caramel and toffee run the length of the clean lager profile - there’s not a wisp of roast on display here - with all German hops providing a soft bitterness for balance. All that’s missing is a large pork knuckle pairing.
