The second lager of the 10 Barrel Series, and another style we love. Don’t judge this beer by its looks – it’s not a porter or a stout. It drinks more like its lighter, better known cousin – German Pilsner. Debittered black malt gives the beer colour but with a smooth and restrained roasty character, whilst traditional noble hops keep things nicely balanced. A clean fermenting lager yeast and 5 weeks brewing time results in a beer with a crisp, dry finish. Another example of what lagers can and should be.

330ml bottle, take-out from Deva Tap, Chester. Pours black, thin off-white head. Aroma of light caramel, roast. Fair carbonation, with subtle simmering roast, dark malts, moderately light body, generally clean and crisp. Quite a good example of the style. This style really should be made more.
