Special Dark
Fox River Brewing Co.

Clear dark sienna, bordering on black. The head is trim, thin, and khaki.
Nose of ash, lactose, powdered cocoa.
Begins with a searing toffee sweetness that is enveloped quickly with a gritty roastedness and general char. Nuttier in the midsection, with burnt walnuts, as it develops a relative breadiness. The yeast imparts a vague milky sense, but it vanishes and seems clean otherwise. The hops add leafy flourishes on the close, with bursts of peppery dry grass.
Firmly medium bodied. Low, steady carbonation.
A pretty nice representation.
