Brewed with German debited dark malts, Vienna and pilsner malts, hopped lightly with German Huell Melon, and fermented six degrees lower than our other ales, Nightman is crisp and smooth with an attention to malt, not hops.

The beer is coffee black in color. Looks pretty clear. The head is a brownish beige. Lots of lacing, good retention, blah. The aroma is clean, lightly sweet caramel malt. There’s a gentle hop presence of sweet fruit. Knowing it’s Hull Melon going in, I can pick up on the melon but it’s a subtle flavor. Works quite well with the malt. Little to no roast character. Maybe a little chocolate. The taste starts with some caramel malt sweetness. I think there’s a little roast but it’s light. Very mild bitterness. Finishes a bit drier but still has a pleasant malt sweetness. The malt is rich and nice. Some nuttiness. Light feel. Solid beer.
