2.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
This Ale is considered a Schwarzbier (which is typically a lager). It seems like they took a formula for stout or porter and decreased the original gravity. This is a light tasting beer, for how high the SRM is. Quickly dissipating head, as well as the flavor. The flavor is slightly sour. There is a light burnt flavor, watery finish with tinge of bitter.

Bottle: Deep brown, nearly black, moderate sudsy off white head, spotty lacing. Roasted malt nose, pale apple skin, a little lactose. Similar on the tongue, a bit spritzy. Straight forward, but average in my book. Moderate body and mouthfeel. Fairly solid, but very average.

Growler pour via lagunitas fan. Clear mohogany with a smidgen of cherry wood in the color, soapy tan head. Smells like roasted malt...like in a dry stout with a touch of acid around the edges. Flavors again are dry and roasty...yeah, that’s pretty much all I got. Flavorful yeah, clean enough...not offensive..ok.
