Maker: McSorley’s, Utica, New York (or not. Lots of conflicting info online)
Style: Black Lager
ABV: 5.5%
Appearance: Dark coffee brown. Nice frothy but not hyper-active head.
Nose: Black coffee with brown sugar. Sweet, slightly bitter. Toasty.
On the palate: Medium bodied, nice roasty, toasty bitterness. A little sweetness. A well-composed lager.
Finish: light but with a fine bitterness that lingers in the cheeks. Very pleasant.
Parting words: I have no idea where this was made, but it’s a very decent black lager, goes down easy and the price is right. It’s worth picking up.
