Brew Info:
- Brewery: Desert Edge Brewery (Salt Lake City, Utah)
- Website: https://desertedgebrewery.com/
- Brew: Schwarzbier
- Style: German Schwarzbier / Black Lager
- Serving: 16 ounce glass off the tap
- ABV: 4.7%
- IBUs: 20
- Ingredients: Pale, Munich, Caramel 45, Chocolate, and Carafa Special malts with Hallertaur hops and German Lager yeast
- Pour: The Schwarzbier pours a deep, dark ruby-brown (almost black) with a creamy, 1+ finger, light beige head with great retention and soapy lacing.
- Nose: The nose is roasty, toasty, malty, slightly smoky, and slightly sweet. There are aromas of freshly baked multi-grain bread, light coffee, a hint of dark chocolate, light liquid smoke, and a hint of soft caramel.
- Taste: The taste of the Schwarzbier follows the nose with roasty, toasty, malty, and smoky flavors. There are notes of dark-toasted hearty bread, dark roasted malts, walnut, light coffee, smoky oak, and soft toffee.
- Mouthfeel: Medium in body and moderately carbonated, the mouthfeel is smooth, creamy, hearty, and slightly smoky with a dry, clean finish.
Overall pairing: The malty and smoky flavors and aromas of the Desert Edge Schwarzbier are perfect for the rich aggression, power, mythology, and depth of the amazing "VII: Respect The Steel" compilation album from METALMESSAGE! For an evening of kickass metal and , I highly recommend both the brew and the album!
Skål!! Prost!! Salute!! HAILS!!
