Night Shift Brewing

 

 

 

 

Picked up a four-pack at the brewery; I'm a total mark for this style. I love the interplay between the roasted malt profile and the oftentimes grassy/piney hop-profile. Excited for this collaboration - seems like a style that could actually manage a couple of different perspectives coming to the table. Pours a muddled brownish-blackish hue out of the tallboy - looks like a watered down porter. That's the low point of the beer. The aroma is roasted malt, bitter chocolate and grassy hops - heavier on the malt than hops. Taste is a nice mix of roasty, grassy, and lightly piney flavors. Drinks smooth throughout and finishes with a pleasant pop from the carbonation. Bitter and slightly creamy. Super enjoyable beer that I wish was a seasonal; nice rendition of the style.

On tap at the brewery.

Pours a dark brownish red. Not really a looker...

Smell is very unexpected. I get a lot of figs and rosehips, which I got surprised by. Smells like Swedish Nyponsoppa (rosehip soup).

Taste is a bit roasted, with more rosehips and a bit of licorice. Really nice, but not what I thoguht I would get!

Mouthfeel is nice and soft, with godd carbonation.

This wqas one of the odder beers I had on my trip. Very nice and tasty, but black IPA? i don't know about that.
