12oz bottle. Black Kolsch huh. I am all for stylistic deviation...but Black Kolsch just screams dumb ass brewer...especially when it tastes like a Schwarzbier or Dunkel. Deep brown-black body. Foamy beige head. Dry mineral mouthfeel, and also chalky bittersweet chocolate. Drinkable enough, but not that impressive of an offering on a few levels.

12 oz can purchased as part of a mix a six from Friar Tuck in O’Fallon, Missouri. The pour is a black brown with a foamy one inch tan head that falls with lace. The aroma is nutty, tobacco malt along with a soft floral. The taste is the nutty soft roast malt, pleasant earth, floral grass tobacco and more toast almost char towards the back. Some interesting flavors going on. The palate is light to medium bodied with active carbonation and the roast malt mineral dry finish. Fun take on the style.

Pour is a dark brown with a tan creamy head. Aroma is a nice roasty malt with maybe some bakers chocolate. Flavor is a bit thinner than the look an the aroma lead you to believe A decent dark malt like a porter with a white bread an a little leather, This was an ok beer a bit different but decent flavor an a different take on the style
