Union Craft Blackwing

Tonight's beer: Union Craft Blackwing

Union Craft Blackwing


Toast to open, with layers of caramel and coffee and dark chocolate. Earthy-grassy bitterness lurking around the middle, maybe some floral touches. Dim possibilities of nuts and toffee. Kinda austere, mostly dry from start to finish.

Very light-bodied, lots of carbonation. A soft hint of stickiness, mostly dry and drying, cleansing and refreshing.

An impressively true-to-style schwarzbier, from a nearby brewery I hadn't had anything from before. Remarkably intense for 4.8% ABV, pretty straightforward and direct. Poised and balanced, niftily drinkable. I probably should grab more beers from these folks.
