Døden
Newgrass Brewing Company

A: Pours an opaque yet still clear extremely dark chestnut brown (approaching jet black) in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and faint dark amber + dark cola brown colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall fizzy sudsy foamy tan head that slowly reduces to a large patch of medium thick film covering approximately 90% of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Light amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of roasted + bready + toasted malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness. Very light aromas of earthy + herbal hops and light aromas of lager yeast.

T: Upfront there are slightly stronger than moderate flavors of roasted + bready + toasted malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness. That is followed by slightly heavier than light flavors of lager yeast. Finally there is a light flavor of earthy + herbal hops. There is a light to moderate amount of roasty bitterness which slowly fades away leaving a clean finish.

M: Light to medium bodied with slightly heavier than moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly crisp with a relatively clean finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly crisp + clean mouthfeel (though possibly just a hint over carbonated for me). Very enjoyable with nice roasty + bready + earthy + herbal flavors which work really well together. Definitely could have a few of these and would grab it again.

 

Look: It pours dark brown with a tan head. Head retention is good.

Smell: It has aromas of bread and a bit of roast. It has an herbal like quality as well.

Taste: It has some bread flavors with a bit of roast. There are some herbal and earthly elements.

Feel: It has a medium light body with a slightly sweet and slightly bitter finish. It is quite smooth.

Overall, there may be a tinge of sour with clean easy drinking flavors.
