Day 282-Beer 282 8th Sin Black Lager, Hop City Brewing Co. Brampton Ontario

Tonight's brew is a Schwarzbier ( German for black  beer). Unlike porters and stouts they are much lighter  and refreshing, similar to pilsners, but with much more colour and flavour. Tonight's poured  a clear black colour with lots of tan coloured head that left some nice sticky lacing. The aroma was dark chocolate and espresso with hints of smoke in the background. The taste  has hints of smoked malts, dark roasted coffee and chocolate with just a small amount of hopy spice and pepper in the finish. A very good example of its style and overall a nice refreshing brew 3.6 out of 5.
