Bauhaus Brew Labs X Hammerheart Brewing Company Schwarzbear

 Bauhaus Brew Labs X Hammerheart Brewing Company Schwarzbear Smoked Dark Lager. 

5.4 % ABV, 25 IBU. Bauhaus BrewLabs, Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

I did it again. I sat on this beer. I tucked a 4-pack away and brought it home long after it sold out. That was a month ago. Had to try it out, for it’s our last taste of anything Hammerheart until they get their new brewery up and running sometime soon.

Dark brown, nearly opaque, slim beige head.

In the nose: mellow, malty, smokey.

In the mouth: brisk and smooth, rich maltiness, judicious dose of cocoa and espresso. Smoked malt flavors are subtle and delicious. Especially drinkable. Definitely delightful. 

I love a schwarzbier, even a smokey schwarzbier. Quite tasty.
