Highland Park Brewery Bortz

“Opaque, with deep garnet highlights at the edges, with a large but not overly persistent head. Big chocolate notes dominate the aroma. As that settles, more light roast appears. Very clean, no esters. Very smooth, sporting a medium-low roast profile with a hint of chocolate in the finish and aftertaste. Bittering and flavor hops don’t stand out, but support and enhance this wonderful concoction. Easy-drinking, with flavor to keep me coming back for more.”
