Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is 10 Barrel Brewing Company S1nist0r
Black Ale. I picked up this beer while
in Bend, OR at Broken Top Bottle Shop & Ale Café (here).
From the 10 Barrel Brewing Company website: “This beer has
been around almost as long as the brewery. Don’t be fooled by the name, this dark
beer is surprisingly light bodied and refreshing.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
very dark brown, nearly black with a tan head and excellent lacing.
Aroma: Roasted
and chocolate malts and floral hops.
Taste: Roasted
black malts, chocolate, coffee and a bit of a charred flavor. Hop presence is very slight.
Overall: Easy to
drink, 10 Barrel Brewing Company S1nist0r Black Ale was enjoyable. At 6.7% ABV this beer is a lot like a
Schwarzbier, but not quite. I’d
certainly drink this one again.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
