Magic Hat – Black as Night Winter Lager

November 20, 2009 by Eric FriedrichcloseAuthor: Eric Friedrich Name: Eric Friedrich Email: eric.friedrich84@gmail.com Site: http://www.twopossibilities.com About: I spend my days leveraging technology to improve media experiences. By night I avoid corporate buzzwords and enjoy craft beers. A few experiments with homebrewing have left me with a great appreciation for those choosing beer making as their profession.See Authors Posts (3)   Filed under Beer Reviews, Lagers, Winter  Comments

THE POUR: This beer poured a thick inky black. Virtually no light was visible through the glass. A foamy, khaki-colored head topped the pour, but settled to a thinner layer.

THE AROMA: Virtually no scent to this lager, just a small sniff of sweetness.

THE TASTE: Thin mouthfeel and lightly carbonated. It tastes strongly of roasted malts with some bitterness.

THE DECISION: Surprisingly dark for a lager, I am reminded more of a mild porter. Still, I’m a dark beer fan in these colder months, regardless of style.

THE GRADE: B
