Specialty beer · OEM & private label
A direction for your beer range.
Dark in color.
Defined by the finish.
Build a 1000ml dark beer OEM or private-label brief around the style you want to sell. Use tinplate cans with 38 mm openings as the pack direction while agreeing roast, body, bitterness and the intended finish.
Dark beer is a broad description. A lighter dark lager, porter-like beer and fuller stout-like beer need different references; color alone does not settle body, sweetness or alcohol.
Pack format: 1L (1000ml) tinplate can with a 38 mm opening. Formula, ABV, sample availability and commercial terms are confirmed for the project.
01 / Flavor direction
Describe the beer beneath the color. Select a base-style reference before adjusting roast intensity, malt character or the visual tone of the can.
State the desired liquid appearance and the level of toasted, cocoa-like or coffee-like malt character. A deep color is not a request for an aggressive burnt finish.
Compare lighter, cleaner-finishing and fuller, rounder references. Record body and perceived sweetness independently; neither is determined by a dark label or product name.
Agree the balance of hop bitterness, roast and finish length. Ask reviewers to identify harsh or drying notes that fall outside the brief.
02 / Packaging
Package your dark beer in a 1L (1000ml) tinplate can with a 38 mm opening. The 38 mm figure specifies the can opening diameter. Review the neck finish, matching closure and sealing liner against approved drawings; agree internal coating, carbonation, filling process and filled-pack checks for the selected beer.
03 / Your business case
The commercial question is which dark-beer occasion and range role your product should address, then how the agreed style can be quoted and repeated.
Choose a dark lager, porter, stout or broader dark-beer direction only when the formula and process support that description. Avoid using the names interchangeably.
Cocoa-like or coffee-like tasting notes do not prove added chocolate or coffee. Decide whether your concept requires those ingredients and record that decision.
Keep style, target ABV, body, process and can decoration constant across quotations. A richer or stronger reference is a changed product brief, not a like-for-like price.
Name the next decision.
Tell the review team what must be resolved before you approve a sample, artwork or order.
04 / OEM & private label
Choose the supply route that matches your formula status. Recipe availability, permitted changes and development scope are reviewed for the project.
What you bringYour brand, market, quantity and dark taste reference.
What to confirmWhether an approved recipe is available, how closely it matches, and which label or formula changes are included.
What you bringA target for base style, color, malt roast, body and bitter finish, ingredient needs and intended ABV.
What to confirmFeasibility, sample stages, revision scope, charges, ingredient sourcing and the approved 1L can system.
What you bringA non-confidential formula summary, rights to use it and the changes you permit.
What to confirmTransfer feasibility, responsibilities and an agreed document-exchange process before sharing sensitive formula detail.
For ZhenXi-branded distribution, state the brand route, target market and quantity so availability, labeling and supply terms can be reviewed separately. Unknown technical details can remain open in the initial brief.
05 / From sample to specification
Use these checkpoints to connect the proposed dark direction to agreed records. They describe review work to arrange, not completed test results.
Identify the proposed base style, malt inputs and any separately requested adjuncts. Keep lactose, coffee or chocolate requirements explicit instead of inferring them from a tasting note.
Record to agree: Base-style brief, ingredient information and formula version.
Compare coded samples for appearance, aroma, roast, body, bitterness and foam under the same serving conditions. Agree the checks and storage evidence needed for the final product.
Record to agree: Accepted sample description and product-specific review plan.
Review the agreed fermentation and filling route with the 1L tinplate body, 38 mm opening, matching closure and coating. Keep formula or process changes connected to sample approval.
Record to agree: Process scope, package specification and version history.
Specify quantity per SKU, decoration, case and destination. Record how a malt-source or style adjustment would affect sample review, labeling and the quotation.
Record to agree: Quote basis, packing configuration and change authority.
Agree the sample stage, quantity, cost and delivery timing before commissioning it. Each stage answers a different purchasing question.
| Stage | Decision | Record to request |
|---|---|---|
| Taste sample | Choose the reference for base style, color, malt roast, body and bitter finish. | Sample date and formula version, serving conditions, agreed acceptance notes and next revision. |
| Filled-can trial | Review the selected beer in the 1L tinplate can with its 38 mm opening and matching closure. | Body/closure drawings, process and carbonation basis, agreed seal and package checks, and storage-validation scope. |
| Order release | Connect the accepted product to the label, packout and destination requirements. | Current formula and artwork, batch-release criteria, required test/report scope, traceability and retention arrangements. |
Taste acceptance does not establish shelf life or transport performance. Confirm storage and after-opening instructions for the released product, with the agreed supporting evidence.
Agree who approves formula, artwork or packing changes, which reference remains current and what information is needed if a concern arises on an initial or repeat order.

Link any issue or repeat-order change to the batch code, approved versions and supporting records. Agree who reviews it and how the next action is recorded.
Prepare your quotation inputs ↗Request the current specification before a purchase order. Concept artwork and sensory descriptions do not establish a released formula, label or production specification.
07 / Buyer questions
Answers for your dark beer inquiry.
No. Dark beer is a broader description. Specify the intended base style and confirm that the proposed formula and process support it before using stout, porter or lager on the label.
Color does not specify alcohol content. State the target ABV separately and confirm the finished-product information for the selected formula.
Not necessarily. These can be sensory descriptions. If added coffee, cocoa or chocolate is a requirement, include it explicitly in the ingredient and label review.
Yes, that is a useful sample brief. Give a reference for body, roast and finish; feasibility and the style description are then reviewed together.
Sample approval also covers aroma, roast, body, bitterness, foam and finish. A visual match alone does not approve the beer formulation or storage specification.
It is the can opening diameter. The package is a 1L (1000ml) tinplate can with a 38 mm opening. Confirm neck finish, cap or closure, sealing liner and filled-pack requirements against matching drawings; diameter alone does not specify the complete closure system.
No fixed ABV is published for this dark beer direction. Include your target value in the brief for formula and finished-product review. The flavor or color name does not establish an alcohol-free product.
OEM and private-label scope can be discussed with ZhenXi. Share your dark reference, target market, artwork status and quantity. Confirm the 1L tinplate body, neck with a 38 mm opening and matching closure drawings, decoration route and label text before artwork release.
Request terms for the selected dark formula, sample scope, quantity per SKU and packing basis. Ask for the sample stage, MOQ per SKU and decoration batch, one-off charges, unit-price basis and milestone schedule. Separate taste approval from filled-can validation and order release. Shelf life, storage and after-opening instructions need product-specific evidence.
