Mason's Black Wheat

Draft at Waterfront. Poured dark. SOme sweetness. Not a lot of wheat. I could take it or leave it.

Notes from 1/28/2009 Growler from New Beer. I've had this before at Fette Sau before. House beers aren't really that exclusive anymore I guess. What initially was going to be a review of their Gorilla Warefare Coffee Porter, turns out to be some Mason's Black Wheat in that unlabeled vessel. Maybe there's coffee in the one next to it(or next to that? :P). Charred ruby black pour, oatmeal-ish head. Chinese calligraphy-looking lace. Smell was like a mild dry stout but with a slight hint of lactose. Carob, toasted grain, granola-ish, gentle. Taste composed of charred white bread, ash, a touch of carob powder, & rice husks. A bit of a satisfying richness on the finish. Carbonation was on; semi-dry. Very much the feel of a base stout. A good pounder, with more to offer then a house tap should. One of Sixpoint's more approachable offerings. That makes what, three(?) now. :P

9th October 2008. GABF. Another brief note because of the madness that is GABF first session! Dark brown clear beer. Malty wheat beer with just a hint of chocolate.
