Commercial Description:
Black Beauty is a big Belgian Dubbel - but brewed with rye. It is velvety smooth, chocolatey, has undertones of toffee and rum, and finishes with a dry, spiciness from the rye. The yeast comes directly from an old Trappist monastery in Belgium and imparts a wonderfully complex character to the beer. I made Chef Dave make me our own traditional dark Belgian candi sugar to add to the complexity. This beer was inspired by the music of Miles Davis. I actually placed speakers right by the fermentation tank and "serenaded" the yeast with Miles' music while it fermented the beer. Outta sight, man!

Backlogged rating from the opening of 5SN (a long time ago) Usually I enter ratings immediately, but I found this one hiding in an unpacked moving box. - Pours completely black. Aroma of chocolate, rum, alcohol, bready malt, caramel, and cherry. Tastes of rum, spice, toffee, chocolate, and estery alefruits. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation. Very nice, big gravity hidden behind good attenuation.

solid black, fine creamy tan head, drippy lace, big sweet fruity aroma with a bit of rich dark chocolate, rich chocolate and lots of ripe fruit flavor, light bitterness, all the flavor of a quad in the lighter frame of a dubbel

On tap at the grand opening 1/19/07: Pours a mostly opaque dark brown with a thin, wispy-lacing tan head. Aroma of dry, toasty dark Belgian malts with a touch of rye and yeasty spice. Body starts mildly sweet and toasty with some bready Belgian yeasty notes toward a spicy, more bitter dry finish. An interesting and authentic brew.

Thick, rich and dark. Sweet and spicy, yet has a pleasant bitterness to it . This beer is one to remember.
