Dark Beer Tasting

A regular shopping trip to Fairway gets me a 6-pack of the assorted Adirondack trail mix from Saranac for $6.29+tax and deposit. Although storms have been predicted Audrey and I head to the Rockaways via the Gowanus and Belt Parkways. I decide to test the dark Saranac Black Forest with my lunch. Onward I go:
Saranac Black Forest: Color-Brownish black Nose-Of caramel First taste-Sweet molasses Observations-Well balanced Fizziness-Foamy head; well carbonated Where Brewed? Utica, NY Style-Bavarian Cost-$1.05 per 12 ozs. Inspired by-Black Forest of Adirondack Mountain region Aftertaste-Quite good Rating-7.5
Final Thought-Dark beer can be a challenge to rate; this was a good example!!!
