What Our Editors Thought

“Bitter chocolate in the aroma, with faint baking spice. Friendlier in the flavor, with a sweet edge to the bready chocolate and just a touch of drying bitterness.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Tootsie Roll and latte in the nose. Light, slightly sweet roast coffee in the flavor. Heavy herbal hops with a touch of citrus are almost black IPA–like. Hop bitterness takes over as it warms. Fun, hop-forward dark lager.”

What the Brewers Say

“Light-bodied like a pilsner, easy to drink and full of flavor, with a hint of chocolate.”
