BREWERY DESCRIPTION OF THE BEER
Big, bold, and black. This unusual lager style has many similarities to imperial stouts. A lengthy conditioning period creates a silky smooth, chocolaty mouthfeel enhanced by the use of oats and brown sugar. Noticeable sweetness gets balanced by roasted malt and hops bitterness. At 10 percent ABV, this beer is sure to keep you warm on a cold winter night.
