Mourning Wood is an oak-aged coffee amber ale. Fresh American oak used during the aging process and Dark Matter’s El Salvador San Jose pulp-natural coffee aromatically drive the beer yet they remain subtle components of the beers’ overall flavor profile. This amber colored, medium-bodied, and extraordinarily well-balanced ale has a delicate taste that is appreciated by beer drinkers of all palates.

Tap at Local Option, Chicago. Poured a hazy deep amber with a thin broken white head. The aroma is strong malt. The flavour is medium bitter with a smooth malty liqourice yeast palate. A super smooth refreshing beer. A real find.

Sampled from bottle @ The Hague tasting. Hazy orange color, small beige head. Smell and taste malts, smoke, ash, earth, tea. Decent I’d say. But I don’t get why this is a spice/herb/vegetable...
