True to its name, Black Mettle presents a decidedly black color topped with a creamy, soft tan resilient head. Aromas of lightly roasted coffee greet the nose accompanied by dark chocolate covered berries, blooming conifers, and lemon wedges. The palate closely follows suit as an initial wave of juniper and sappy pine leads to a refreshing burst of vibrant orange peel and grapefruit zest. The back end lets the roasted malts shine through with a soft wash of smooth blonde roast coffee and fleeting cocoa. With a fluffy mouthfeel, medium body and a present yet gentile bite, Black Mettle’s supportive interplay between the hops and the malt bill makes each sip as unique as it is enjoyable.

Can shared at the 2025 Pre-Christmas/NY Zaandam Borrel. Poured a murky dark brown colour with a thin off white head. The aroma is grassy, nettle. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a crisp, grassy, nettle, dry pepper spice, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.
