Used with permission Magic Hat Brewery |
Overview: "I am beer, hear me roar" - well at least that's what it said under my cap. Magic Hat's continued set of unique creations continues with the winter seasonal, Howl.
Aroma: Honestly, it's a clean beer, with not much in the aroma department as far as I can tell. A little hint of malt in there, and perhaps some syrup.
Appearance: Black. Yup. Black. Light tan head, and if you hold it to the light just right, you might find a ruby.
Flavor: Smooth and creamy, some roast and drying at the edges. Light and easy drinking body. Leaves a slight bitterness in the finish.
Overall Impression: I am impressed with Howl as a beer, and it is one of my favorite Magic Hat seasonals to try so far. It is also the only Magic Hat brew I have tried so far that fits within a category relatively easily. It is a Dark Black Lager aka Schwarzbier. It ranks well up there with the other Black Lagers that I have had.
