Black Metal, a.k.a. Iron Sword, a.k.a. Blackened Death, a.k.a. El Martillo del Muerte, is a cruel and punishing beer fermented by the sheer force of its awesome will. Best enjoyed while pumping out blast beats, summoning trolls, or enjoying a nice, leisurely reading of the Necronomicon.
Black Metal takes inspiration from both the English and Franco-Belgian brewing traditions. We combine English specialty malts with well water, local base malt from our friends at Blacklands, and wild fermentation with our mixed culture of brewers yeast and native yeast and bacteria.
Admin Note: In 2015, Jester King released the first batch (Batch 16) of Black Metal brewed using the brewery’s house mixed culture of microorganisms consisting of brewers yeast and native yeast and bacteria harvested from the air and wildflowers around the brewery. The previous batches of Farmhouse Black Metal was brewed using a French Saison yeast.

Tap at Oersoep festival. Almost black with beige head. Massive sour berries, dark chocolate, light red wine, some soft herbs, deep roasted grains. Taste is over medium sour, medium roasted bitterness and some light underlying sweetness. Medium to full bodied with puckering feel.
