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.”
