Common descriptors are
O’Brien Black Lager, brewed in the tradition of German Schwarzbier, is the first winter beer to be unveiled by the gluten-free brewer.
It has a deep ruby/black in colour with a tan head. Specially roasted sorghum and millet malts provide an aroma of roast coffee and rich chocolate flavour, while the noble hops add floral and spicy notes. A full, creamy mouth feel gives way to a roasty bitterness that lingers through a clean and dry finish.
