Today we bottle, yes, bottle our oak aged black lager. We have been aging this small batch beer for a year sampling it here and there waiting for just the right moment when we felt this beer had the character we were looking for. What makes this beer unique is that it is an aged lager. Typically you don't see this sort of things with lagers. We were trying to recreate what a dark Munich style or Schwarzbier lager aged and cellared in oak would have tasted like a couple hundred years ago. The body remains light since lager yeast was used. The carbonation is fine producing a wonderful head. The oaky notes compliment the coffee malt flavor profiles. Get a bottle while you can. We've limited the production run to 400 22oz bottles sealed in wax and individually numbered. These bottles are available for purchase at our brewery and possibly at a few select locations around town as soon as January 13.
The brewers just told me these are not yet available. Any idea on when they will be? Thanks!
