- Tasting Notes
- Very rich flavor, light roastiness, aroma almost like a root beer
I was very happy with this, and it's about to become my house lager. When I first kegged it, I was thinking that it might be short on chocolate malt. However, after carbing up, it is just right. A very light roast flavor, but still has that crisp tendency of a lager. Big mouthfeel, might try mashing a couple degrees lower next time. I'm thinking that the dark malt combination here might be right for a Black IPA, and I'll be trying that in the near future
