Black Gold
Biloxi Brewing Company

 

 

 

 

Pours a very dark brown color with khaki colored head. Coffee, cocoa, roasted malt, and some earthiness on the nose; follows onto the palate. Medium bodied. Finishes with cocoa and roast.

 

Biloxi Black Gold exploded out of the bottle, at the first crack, so that was a cleanup. The appearance was dark and with light shining through it, at me, it looked like prune juice. Aroma was almost nonexistent, but I did pick up some standard "beer" smell and maybe some milk chocolate. Taste is of some char, dark brown bread crust, cream, chocolate, coffee, and a fairly good amount of bitterness. Mouthfeel is light and watery, and Biloxi Black Gold finishes somewhat powdery dry.

Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. Has a black color with a 1 inch head. Smell is of roasted malts, light chocolate. Taste is roasted malts, smoke, hops are present, hints of chocolate and alcohol. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a solid beer.

A- Black with a medium off white head that dissapates quickly.
S- Roasty, and Slightly woody.
T- More roast. Some smoke? Earthiness and burnt chocolate.
M- Higher carbonation. Lageresque.
D- Pretty well done IMO

 

A damn solid brew, had the coffee version as well as BA coffee ( review to follow) kudos to bbc for brewing a foreign export, not many brewers dabble in this style

"Black Gold is our award-winning beer based on extra stouts historically brewed in Ireland which traditionally boasted higher alcohol and hopping rates, enabling it to keep for long sea voyages to british colonies throughout the world. Featuring the unmistakable deep- dark color and roasted malt flavors you'd expect in a stout, Black Gold, with its crisp yet restrained bitterness, rewards the drinker with a velvety smooth sensation on the palate." Brewed in the style of a Foreign / Export Stout. Available as a year-round release in 12 oz. bottled 6 packs and on draft.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle to a snifter glass.
