Since I was recently called out for my lack of posting, I thought maybe it was time to get back at it. This whole school thing is really starting to get in the way of my life. Recently, a friend of mine gifted me a beer for doing him a favor so I thought I would throw it on here. This is my first beer from Grand Teton Brewing Company and hopefully not my last.5 O'clock Shadow Double Black Lager
Appearance- Dark brown color with a tan bubbly head. Disappears a little and is edging towards patchy. Lacing can be seen sticking to the glass.
Smell- Moderate amount of malty character with toasted malt and a bit of roasted malt being the most prominent. A slight amount of caramel in the nose with traces of coffee. No real hop aroma.
Taste- Moderate malty beginning that changes to a rich Munich malt in the middle. Toasted flavor as well as the roasted malt that was noticeable in the nose. Some low bitterness at the end with a clean lager character throughout.
Mouthfeel- Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Nice and smooth while finishing slightly dry.
Overall and Notes- Full flavored and smooth. Although I was surprised to see a "double" schwarzbier, this one worked out well.
Yes, but when I take care of that tomorrow (new Rockit Cup beer), you'll just be back to looking like a turd on a stick again. Plus, let's be honest--if I hadn't tipped you off, that post could have lingered for months sans your awareness. And that is the real crome here.
