Santo is a black Kölsch, which technically doesn’t exist as a style, but this is as close as we can come to describing it. Essentially it is brewed using a Kölsch recipe with the addition of Munich and black malt. It is light bodied and floral yet with a distinct dark malt flavor. Our goal was to create a dark yet refreshing beer that would pair perfectly with a plate of enchiladas.

bottle into nonic
A: Cola brown, fairly thin looking body, good carbonation but low retention
S: crisp cracker with a hint of carob, maybe a bit of green apple, heaving co2
T: almost pear-like quality, a bit of toastiness but not much, somewhat chalky/malted milk-like in the finish
M: Very bright, effervescent, final finish is quite dry but clean, good.
O: It's an OK beer. It isn't big enough in any direction to really define its style. I did enjoy the mouthfeel and clean finish.
