Taste: Toffee, Roasty, Earthy Bitterness
Notes: Our collaboration brew with Die With Your Boots On this year is a dark altbier. Just like our classic alt, but with a little more roasty and dark color from the addition of extra roasted malts to fit the BWYBO desire.

Undated cans drunk 4/4/25.
Dark mahogany-chestnut. Clear. Small, dark beige head.
Clean kolsch yeast, somewhat obscured by the dark malts, though it's only lightly chocolatey, without any major roast. Fruity, with a smattering of herbal hops.
Clean and chocolatey with a bit of chew to the body and good attenuation. Fresh yeast, fresh herbal hops and lingering fruitiness and chocolate.

Pours dark mahogany into a willi. Tan head with excellent retention recedes leaving trailing spots. Raisin, date and brown bread aromas. Crisp with dark caramel, earthy clove and dark chocolate front to back. Lasting bitter cocoa finish.
