Brewed with a healthy Pilsner base w/ Chocolate
& Black malts & fermented to a royal 7.5% with
our house lager yeast, a flaggon of this brew is
sure to keep the Kings & Queens warm in their
drafty environs all winter long!

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tall tulip.
Appearance: dark brown colored body with a two and a half fingers of eggshell white foamy head which dissipated and left some light lace
Aroma: dark bready notes, slight dark fruits, some woody spices, subtle earthy hops, subtle sweet char
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together fairly nicely in a semi-roasty to semi-sweet tone, finishes dark bready, some woodiness and toasty
Texture: medium bodied with a light sessionability about it, semi-smooth along the tongue with some earthy grit
Overall: a 7.5% dark lager made a good night, twas worth my time and would have that again.

Can pour from The Beer Store, Salem. It's an opaque dark brown with ring of beige head and light lacing. Aroma is roasted malt, toffee, mild spice. Taste is strong roasted malt, toffee, earth. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, smooth, soft carbonation and dry finish as taste. Excellent strength and good for style.

16 oz can shared by tfontana. Thanks Tom. Aroma shows brown bread, dried leaves and mild spice. Flavor follows with the addition of chocolate nuances. Nice mouthfeel and body for the style. Very nice!
