Pretty good looking beer here. Not exactly black, but a very dark brown color with decent clarity. Capped by a rocky khaki foam that smooths out and hugs the perimeter leaving little spots of lacing behind.
The aroma is simple, yet appropriate and pleasant. Burnt white bread crusts over a dash of dark chocolate, with a nutty, woody finish.
We got some flavor folks. Charred bread still steals the show but unexpected notes of blackberries and brown sugar play quite nicely. Still has a little of that aforementioned nuttiness along with a metallic finish.
Well carbonated, perhaps even a bit too much as it's extra bubbly and filling. Burp. Comes full circle starting off toasty, has a quick dash at sweet, then back to a roasted bitter finish. Burrrrp! A light medium body, but there is a minimal slickness to it. Buuuurrrrrrrrrrrp! Did I mention it's fizzy?
A fun beer, but it's not gonna be replacing any of my Schwarzbiers any time soon. Might have another go at this though, as I've been meaning to hit this brewery up. Cheers.
