Lowenbrau Dark

Since it was bought by InBev it's not the same, and in the US from 1975 on it was licensed by Miller, and not the same Oktoberfest beer. The US didn't ever really see a real Lowenbrau except for a short period when Miller dropped the licensing a few years back and it was being imported, but then InBev snapped it up!
 
Thats a bummer, well hopefully the clone recipe will be close. Looking at ingredients now: Original link: http://www.beertools.com/library/recipe.php?view=7479
