Care of @scotchfullyyours, Dan pops an internationally-inspired Dark Lager from Zeroday Brewing and starts dreaming about barbecue.

STYLE: Dark Lager
ABV: 5.3%
IBU: 21
AVAILABILITY: 16 oz cans/draft (Limited)

Stats above taken from the can/website/Untappd.

Dark brown with a half-inch, foamy, tan head.

Deep, dark caramel/burnt sugar with toasted bread/Maillard reaction notes plus herbal hops.

Caramel notes continue along with the toasted bread.

Fairly light on the palate with a medium body, soft carbonation, and fairly dry finish.

This was trending more Tmave for me, but totally approachable. Pairing-wise, those Maillard-reaction notes lead me to barbecue, leading towards pulled chicken or pork with some sweet sauce.

Thanks again to @scotchfullyyours AKA Doug Zeigler (Speakeasy Conversations, Mortal Content, The Cult Bar) for sharing!

Cheers and remember:

Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.

All music on this show came to us from the now defunct Music Alley.
