Snozzwanger
The Veil Brewing Co. - Production Brewery

 

 

 

16oz can from ThatCracker (thanks). Canned 4/27/16. Served in a goblet.

Pours black with a lively finger and a half of mocha head. The frothy cap dissipates quickly, leaving neither retention nor lace.

Sweet, roasty, welcoming aromas of cooked grains, dark chocolate and a subtle sugary sweetness.

Tastes of dark chocolate, slight roast, milk sugars and black coffee with no alcohol bite whatsoever.

The body is at once both light and creamy. I'm typically in favor of light carbonation but it is nonexistent here which leaves it feeling a bit dead. Aftertaste of dark chocolate milk and semi burnt coffee.

Snozzwanger pulls off some impressive flavor in a very low abv package. It may not be something I'd seek out but it's a fine brew nonetheless.

 

 

16 oz can. Pours jet black, two finger mocha head fades almost instantly. Smells like chocolate milk. Nice smooth chocolate coffee dessert taste, plenty lactose sugar sweetness. Feel is on the thin side but oily slick. Tasty low abv dessert brew.

 

 

Pours like used motor oil, not the slightest hint of light is able to shine through, while producing no head, just the faintest ring of lacing.

Smells of toasted black malts, complimented by a toffee and licorice note, which gets balanced by mellow earth. Produces a spicy tang, evolving from the earth after swirling, which leads to a great aroma profile.

Has almost no carbonation,putting the focus on a silk, aqueous beginning, which gets more powerful, once the rich malts unfold, producing a body which appears more complex than I would expect from a low alcohol beer.

Tastes of a toasty toffee quality right from the beginning, together with a pungent bitter chocolate creaminess, adding a nice bitterness. Turns more earthy and drier at the back end, finishing with an aqueous silkness.

This is really tasty and well put together, exhibiting a great, intense flavour profile, which evolves from sweet to dry. Very nice, for such an easy drinker.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poured a black body with minimal head and no lace. Aroma is roasted and dry malts with hints of bitter chocolate. Smooth, medium body, has a smidge of lactic quality, not much of a chocolate milk stout as the chocolate is bitter and minimal on the backend. Easy to drink and enjoyable but don't expect the chocolate to be the dominant taste.
