Biržų Alus Tamsusis

Dark beer was a pride of Biržai region for a long time. There are some stories that earlier beer brewers of this region had poured over the same malt for several times. The first immersion of the malt allowed to obtain strong and dark beer with exceptional taste. After the second immersion beer became lighter and it’s taste became weaker. As taste of the beer after first pouring was in particular vivid, this kind of beer in Biržai was appreciated the most. The “Tamsusis” beer made in “Biržų alus” brewery is rich and intense, characterized with dark ruby colour, attributed to “Munich Dunkel Lager” style of beer. Light and caramel malt taste is well expressed in this beer, but it doesn’t shade the other details of this beer. You can also feel aftertaste of roasted bread and nuts, interlacing with the scent of aromatic hops.
