Commercial Description:
California Black Beer is a well-balanced American dark lager that emphasizes its grain. It has a slightly roasted character with a slight sweetness and a hint of chocolate malt. Like the bear, it is called black. But if you look close, it's really brown.

Bottle. Poured a dark reddish brown with an off white head. Aroma was of toasted to burnt bread, with notes of earth and nuts. Flavor was a bit better than the aroma, which I was not a big fan of. A bit watery, but it seemd to work pretty well. Not a whole lot going on, but it was present. Roasted malt, cocoa and light caramel notes. Some light chalkiness in the finish. Ok.

On tap at Papago - Pours a deep reddish-brown color with a nice size of white head. Light lacing. Aroma is toasted malt. Flavor is light roasted malt. Light to medium body. Kinda boring. Just not alot happening with this beer. Decent enough.

It is reddish-brown with a white head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel and a whiff of cabbage. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of roasted malt, fruit, caramel and citrus in the slightly dry finish.

22 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden deep amber with a fully gone head. Aroma is mild roasted malty to light breadish with a mild hoppy note. Dry, roasted and subdued bitter flavoured. Bitter, dry and roasted lingering into a dry persisting finish.
