What the brewers say

“German-style black lager.”

What our panel thought

“Chocolate notes with a kind of distractingly effervescent bite in the nose. Aromatically, it has a lot of lift; moderate roasted character with esters that push through. Chocolate and coffee with noted roast harshness and hints of smoke. Light to medium body with higher carbonation. Leaves a bit of a chalky mouthfeel. Spicy-grassy hop character balances well on the clean finish. Pleasant, but a bit rough on the edges.” 

What our editors thought

“Woody, light roast nose. Round and soft malt in the sip, a bit too friendly.”
