What the brewers say

“Black lager brewed with Troubadour Serenade, Blue Ballad, Mod 300, and Rootshoot Pilsner.”

What our panel thought

“Coffee, dark chocolate, and dark caramel notes complement a decidedly roast-malt-forward nose with hints of sweet floral hops in the background. Despite the roast-forward aroma, a supremely clean, lightly sweet caramel-like initial flavor slowly fades into a pleasant light floral bitterness that lingers into the finish, as hints of roast and light smoke emerge.”

What our editors thought

“Bold dark malt nose, bright carb, and a slight acidic tinge push a strong dark body with wood and bread-crust notes.”
