What Our Editors Thought

“Dark chocolate in the aroma with a slight charcoal and burnt-bread-crust tinge. Open and lighter in the flavor with a very subtle malt note that softens without sweetening. Crisp and concise finish with lingering lightly bitter dark chocolate.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Dark chocolate fills the nostrils initially, then gives way to more roasty coffee notes mingled with earthy hops. The milder flavor still hints at a pot of coffee and a touch of baker’s chocolate. Lands dry with crisp carbonation.”

What the Brewers Say

“Black lager with notes of chocolate, cola, and malt sweetness.”
