Born of dark and cold and snow in the marrow of the northeast's longest night, Howl comes in on wailing winds with winter-weary eyes burning holes in sunless shadows. In its darkened depths our inner voids are warmed.

4.1/5 rDev +11.1%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Poured from a bottle into a goblet glass.

A: Very dark brown. Not quite opaque. One finger light tan head with no retention.

S: Sweet roasted malts. A little coffee. Not a super fragrant beer.

T: Like the nose, sweet roasted malts and a little coffee. Slight bitterness in the middle. Finish like a light roast coffee.

M: Moderate carbonation. Medium to light carbonation. A light dark beer, appropriate for the style.

O: I get a lot of coffee notes from this beer. Odd to me for a Schwarzbier. I was pleasantly surprised by this beer. I have not had too many Magic Hat beers that I like, but this one is something I would buy again.

(Served in a tulip glass)
A- This beer pours a dense black body with a thick rocky tan head that last a good bit.

S- The soft coffee roasted note has some raw grain silage in the finish but is otherwise pretty clean.

T- The nice roasted coffee malt has some clean lagered characteristics with a watery finish. The watery coffee flavor lingers with a bit of a green coffee bean note coming through as it opens.

M- The medium-light mouthfeel has a scrubbing fizz in the finish.

O- The nice clean coffee flavor turns thin and watery and there are no other flavors to support it or pick up the slack. Gets a little drab getting through 12 oz.
