Noble Beast Brewing Co. Murder Ballads
What the brewers say
“Horizontally lagered for clarity of flavor.”
What our panel thought
“Restrained and pleasant smoke character with hints of roast and coffee that float underneath and support it. The flavor follows suit—subtle but firm focus with just enough support. High carbonation helps scrub smoke off the palate. Very easy drinking.”
What our editors thought
“Gorgeous dense brown foam with a bit of nitro-like cascade. Toast and chocolate in the aroma with a reserved sophistication. Sweeter malt notes push the chocolate in a more crowd-pleasing direction in the sip.”
