I've found my malty, somewhat sweet dark Beer. Dos Equis Dark. I've been
drinking Yeungling Black & Tan (okay) & Michelob Amber Bock (eh) but I
now have found a home with the above. (Do you folks know that dark beer
is an excellent source of antioxidents & (used within reason) can lower
cholesterol?

After Malvern Hill Pres. Lincoln visited with Gens. Mc Clellen & Sumner
as well as Col. Nugent (Commander of the Irish Brigade.)` A Lt. James.
M. Birmingham, Adjutant of the 88th N. Y. came from a swim in the James
R. & with his underwear drying on his body saw them talking. He ducked
behind some cover to eavesdrop in time to see & hear Pres. Lincoln
(overcome with emotion at the bravery & sacrifice of the Irish Brigade.)
as he lifted a corner of the 69th N. Y.'s flag, kissed it & said "God
bless this Irish flag" From Joseph Bilby's book
"Remember Fontenoy" on the Irish Brigade

I've never heard of a "dark". I know they make a popular amber as well as
lighter lager. I suspect you have the amber as it's sometimes called "dark"
to differentiate it from the lighter lager with a similar label. If so, that
style of beer is called a "vienna lager". Do a Google search and you'll find
other brands to consider as well. Personally, I like the Great Lakes Eliot
Ness, a fine Vienna lager from Cleveland, OH.

Have you tried Yuengling Porter? Better than the Black and Tan, IMHO.

Completely different styles and tastes though.

Great Lakes makes some fine beers -- unfortunately hard to find here in
SoCal. I really like the Edmund Fitzgerald Porter.

I'd recommend to the original poster that they might want to do a side by
side comparison betwenn Dos Equis "dark" and another Mexican beer called
Negra Modelo. Most of the SoCal folks I know who like Mexican lagers
thing that Negra Modelo wins hands down.
