Black Orchard
Poured from a 750ml bottle into my Lost Abbey stemware. Poured a dark brown color with a small fizzy khaki colored head. It almost looked like pouring a soda into the glass. The head faded after a few minutes to pretty much nothing and didn't leave any lacing on the glass. The aroma has a malty,sweet, dark fruit smell to it with wheat, grapes, raisins and spices all present. The taste has wheat up front with the dark fruit and grapes coming through midway. The finish has some spice and more grape flavor to it. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and moderately creamy and silky from the oats. Carbonation is above average and really shows in the finish. Drinkability is decent, it's an interesting beer but not one of my favorites from the Bruery. I did like what the oats added to the mouthfeel but overall it was just an OK beer. I enjoyed drinking it but probably wouldn't buy again.
