What is Dark Lager?

Dark Lager covers lagers built around darker roasted or caramel malts -- think Munich Dunkel or Schwarzbier territory -- giving chocolate, toast, or light roast character while keeping the clean, crisp fermentation profile of a lager rather than an ale's fruitier yeast notes. Typically 4.5-5.5% ABV, it's maltier and more roast-forward than Vienna Lager, but generally milder and less intensely roasted than a dark ale like stout or porter -- roast character delivered with lager-clean smoothness.
