What Our Editors Thought
“Split wood and a bit of espresso in the aroma leads to a full but semidry body with strong chocolate tones and a touch of prickly, peppery bitterness.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Chocolate, cherry, and a hint of plum on the nose. Dry cocoa powder throughout the sip with light cherry accents. Balanced blend of roast and ever-so-slight esters. Light body leans acidic, with firm bitterness that dissipates pleasantly. Quite quaffable.”
What the Brewers Say
“German-style black lager. Roasty, dark biscuit, subtle coffee, and chocolate notes.”
