Jurassic Dark
Stellwagen Beer Company

A sturdy pour released a finger of light tan creamy foam with long retention and sticky swatches of lacing. Very dark brown almost black color, clear with orange-ruby highlights.

Dark bread, herbal hops and cocoa greats the nose with coffee, chocolate and toasted grains.

Neutral taste with above average bitterness, roasted character is bold but not astringent. Much of the bitterness is from hops. Not as much coffee as in the smell, chocolate and toasted grains remain. Bitterness and dryness build in, the finish is quick and clean of flavors. The aftertaste is dry with bitterness slowly dropping off.

Medium light bodied with soft carbonation. Great balance of sweet and dry (until the dry finish), hop and roasted malt bitterness. Smooth easy drinker, alcohol is almost undetectable.
