"It has a very deep russet-brown color and an aroma of toffeeish malt, caramel, and chocolate. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, soft, and round, with balancing light hopping, the roast contributing a nice juicy acidity in the center. The finish is quick, clean, and dry, with light coffee and chocolate flavors lingering."
Garrett Oliver, The Brewmaster's Table, p. 281
Pilsner and dark roasted malts impart a virtually opaque color to the Black Beer. It's distinctive palate, reminiscent of bitter chocolate, dry toffe and coffee, it's restrained richness, and hoppy, dry finish may be compared to the fruitiness of its top-fermenting English companions - stouts and porters.
