What Our Editors Thought
"Woody dark chocolate note in the aroma, with just a bit of coffee-like roast, a lingering forest note, and just a bit of light smoke. Softer chocolate and bread crust in the flavor with an appropriate smokiness, easy to drink with body that cuts the dark malt acidity."
What Our Panel Thought
"A sharp chocolate malt with a roasty edge partners with an ashy campfire, with a touch of vanilla suggesting the roasted marshmallows. The roasty characteristic of this beer is really harmonious with the smoke character. The flavor delivers a stronger malt component, with some light caramel sweetness, but the roast and smoke make the finish a bit rough. Light and crisp with a clean bitterness on the finish that makes this beer stand up straight in a balanced and refreshing way."
What the Brewers Say
"Schwarzbier brewed with beechwood-smoked malt, Munich, and de-bittered black malt, spunded for natural carbonation, and lagered until refined."
