1554 Brussels Style Black Ale

Appearance: Dark Brown

Taste: Slightly Bitter

Brewery: New Blgn Brewing Co

Overall Rating: Great

Notes: "1554 Brussels Style Black Ale is our info-age revival of a beer enjoyed long ago in the taverns of Brussels, Belgium. From an ancient brewing book, our researchers discovered the oldest reference to these black beers as the year 1554. While certainly black with toasted maltiness, this ale is not a stout or a porter. Rather this dark's secret to quaffability lies in its bright acidity from the yeast and alluring, spicy undertones."
