Drowned Lands Brewery Soir
What the brewers say
“Foeder- fermented black lager.”
What our panel thought
“Delicate roast-malt notes in the aroma bring subtle hints of chocolate, coffee, and dark caramel along with light floral hops. A brief blast of chocolate sweetness quickly fades into a nice balance of floral hops and coffee-like roast and bitterness. A soft, neutral, wood-like tannic note softens the edges and pulls the bitterness and sweetness together.”
What our editors thought
“Chocolate croissant nose leads into a sweeter sip punctuated by sharper tannic notes that keep it from excess. Bold and sweet with a structuring tannic line.”
