Dark and Crushable Volition manages to be both dark and crushable. Our take on black lager aims to stretch the style beyond what you'll typically find.

Our house lager yeast is present, an underlying dark bread character comes through, and the roast is subtle, rather than in your face. This beer is proof that lager is always in season.

Brendan L.

Really flavorful, dark, beer. Was great around the holidays in particular but I prefer this type of beer year round as wel

Jeff W.

Very good dark lager, but I didn't like it quite as much as the Illusory Correlation. Somewhere between a 4 and a 5!

Brendan L.

Volition is really satisfying beer. Coming out if the holidays its a good way to transition from spicy Christmas ales back to less robust beers.

Harris W.

Great black lager, easy to drink but with great flavor. Pairs well with food, dark color but medium body.

Philip D.

Perfect dark lager for the season

Michael H.

Black lager into the night!

travis l.

Very nice black lager. Nice roasted chocolate notes

Jordan R.

A wonderful experience as always. Nikki is the best beertender on Long Island.

Shawn S.

Volition on a cold night? First sip makes you shout “Oh Shite!”. I’d pour some over my cocoa crispies but that would be redundant.

kevin t.

malty, tasty. was a bit 'thinner' than i was expecting but delicious and well worth the experiment!

Christopher C.

Really enjoyed this one the first time I had it last year. Was one I had to order a second time. Did not disappoint.

Anthony T.

One of my favorites this time of year!

AKIRA Y.

Hard to expect from what you see. Clear and smooth. Malt taste in good amount. This is really great dark but crisp lager beer.

Debra J.

We ordered Volition, Drowned Lands Rare Earth, Schilling Alexandr, Short Fuse, Indelible, Logical Conclusion to share with friends at a little party we had. Most were new to Three's great beers and reactions were all seriously positive!

Joseph P.

delicious! pretty crisp but also full bodied. would definitely have again!

Gregory M.

This is probably my favorite Threes beer of all of the Threes beers I've ever had. A stunning and delicious dark lager that can really be enjoyed at any time of year.

Justin O.

Always happy to see more schwarzbiers in the mix! One of the best styles for Fall and Winter, and Threes' take on it does not disappoint. It's warm and inviting. Nice to drink when all you want to do is stay indoors, throw a blanket over your legs, and get hygge on.

Christopher E.

Something different from Threes. It’s dark but not too roasty.

Ryan F.

Volition is a crisp & light Schwarzbier, perfect for the cool weather

Michael U.

I was pleased to find that this beer was similar a German dark lager I've enjoyed occasionally.

Anthony T.

One of the best black lagers around! Threes always has the bangers!

Murad B.

Outstanding dark lager. Very flavorful

Shawn S.

Tons of flavor. Can sip it or session it. Nice beer to pour as you do work around the house and keep coming back for a sniff and a sip. No worries letting it get a little warmer. Different flavors develop as it does. Cocoa and a little roast in a crispy lager format. It’s a winner.

Brian R.

very good black lager

Michael P.

I like it.

Robert O.

Loved it

JUSTIN E.

Give me more.

Anthony

Really love that this complex black lager has a lighter body than most. Great cold weather, blanket and a book beer

Josh L.

I've been enjoying this beer so much...it's got the dark notes but the lightness of a lager. I have been enjoying it in the evening, alongside some Girl Scout cookies. The beer pairs well with Thin Mints, Samoas, and Tagalongs. To be honest, thinking about this beer, I wish I was drinking one right now.

Ryan B.

Just how a black lager should be. Hoping this becomes a regular canned offering!

CHESTER W.

Enjoyed it!!

Rale M.

Perfect dark lager! Super balanced and smooth - my new dark favorite!

Sean P.

Awesome beer! Very crushable! Big fan of this one

travis l.

Real Nice black lager

Gregory M.

Good Lord I love this beer. Get it every time it's available. Smooth, notes of chocolate and very subtle sweetness. Dark and full but not filling.

Nicolas k.

Surprising flavor, for the color. Very good!

Excellent dark beer for colder months. Strong flavor without feeling heavy.

Ben I.

It's my favorite style and they nailed it. Chocolate but light and easy drinking. Yum!

travis l.

Nice black lager

Ihor F.

Dark, brown color. Medium-sized, off-white head. Toasted malt and dark chocolate in the aroma. Pleasant hoppy/roasted bitterness in taste. A good one.

Philip Z.

Dry black lager, ok to call it a Schwartzbier? Excellent for the season!

Easy drinking, but with nice roasted flavors. Well done dark lager!

Eric B.

Pretty tasty lager. My fiance is more of a stout person, but loved this beer.
