I have my co-worker Greg to thank for this brew.
The beer does indeed pour a black with slight browny hue yielding a reasonable healthy head which dissipates fairly slowly.
The aroma is spicy. But the first sip is surprising because I don't find it is all that connected to the aroma.
What is a nice surprise is this is a very good beer. A strong B to B+ effort and probably the best Okanagan Spring brew I have ever had. They have indeed raised the bar for themselves.
One of the things I love about this beer is the mouth-feel, it has a nice weight to it, with mild carbonation. The flavour profile contains hints of chocolate and malt. I suppose they call it a black lager because the flavour is milder then a ale or stout yet does have some characteristics of a dark brew.
This is a very interesting beer indeed and a beer I will likely buy in the very near future.
