Review: Baba Black Lager

Uinata Brewing Co.

Grade:  C+

Appearance:  Pours black with a cream white head that disipates quickly and leaves mediocre lacing.

Smell: Smells similar to a porter.  Strong chocolate with notes of coffee, brown sugar and a touch of roasted malt.  Smells great.

Taste: Not near as sweet as the smell lead on.  Dry, roasted dark malt with a little bit of dark chocolate and breadiness.  Finishes slightly roasty and smokey.

Mouthfeel: Light body with moderate carbonation.  Light and crisp, which a lager should be.

Drinkability: An easy drinking organic lager that is easy to have a few, and the modest 4% ABV doesn't hurt.

Overall: This is like a thin porter.  There is nothing wrong with it, but nothing exciting either.  Its a good sessionable alternative to more robust dark beers.
