Mickey Finns Brewery Dark and Down
What the brewers say
“Dark rye lager.”
What our panel thought
“Coffee-forward roast malt notes in the aroma complemented by pleasant, but restrained, floral hops. The roasty and coffee-forward malt flavors create an assertive bitterness that starts early and lingers long, further accentuated by a soapy, floral hop note. Despite the aggressive bitterness, the beer drinks clean and crisp.”
What our editors thought
“Light and nutty, peanut and almond in the aroma. The sip leans again toward that warm nutty character, balanced with just a touch of herbal bitterness.”
