Commercial Description:
It’s not often that a great summer swell coincides with a full moon, but when they collide, nature affords us a rare opportunity to paddle out long after everyone has called it a day. These moments are a solitary pursuit with empty lineups, but those who carve graceful lines under a full moon understand how things can be dark lonely and rewarding at the same time. So next time you paddle in from an overcrowded beach break, remember that nothing tastes better than a cold beer after a session. We suggest a glass of this smooth roasty black lager for contemplating empty lineups and waves that go on for days. Most likely, you’ll long for epic summer swells under moon lit sessions opening the doors to isolation and empty secret spots of an age trying to pass us by.

Bottle. Pours a very dark brown, almost black, small tan head. Aroma is malt and chocolate. Flavor is malt, roast, some smoke and chocolate on the dry, slightly bitter finish.

#1400. 22oz Bottle. Thanks Andy! Smooth caramel, chocolate toast and french sea salt aroma. Solid roast, brown sugar, and hazlenuts. That’s great. Pours a pitch black with a chestnut fringe, and a well-lacing tan head. Flavors are rich, but drinkable. A bit of char comes with deep chocolate roastiness. Chicory and coffee come through. Caramels for background. This is light, though and I like that. Fresh and bristling with salt. A very, very fine Schwarzbier. Cheers to everyone who’s been there for the last 1400 brews, especially Sean and Andy for keeping me in the good stuff. I look forward to the next 1400.

This lager pours a very dark almost black color. The nose is of smoked cereal and roasted coffee. Taste is smokey dry malt flavor with a nice drinkability. One of the better lagers i’ve had.

Bottle shared by alexsdad06. Poured dark brown color with medium brown frothy head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Medium roasted dark malty aroma. Medium body with a dry texture. Medium to heavy flavor of roasted malt with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Interesting solid brew.
