Marin Orange & Black Congrats Ale

From Marin –  To honor our World Champions at the Cove, we have created a smooth, American black ale brewed with orange zest. A hearty brew for the bleacher bums, gardeners of turf, and patient fans who have endured 54 years of pine-grabbing torture. An adult beverage to salute the bat, the Stick, the rally thong., the crab, the seal, the chickens, the Thrill, the bowties in the office, the golden voices in the booth, and all of the San Francisco legends that helped them get there.

Marin Brewing – Marin Orange & Black Congrats Ale – 22 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass. 6% abv.

Appearance: Pours a cola brown with a tan pin stripe.

Aroma:  Light licorice, ripe fruit, roast. Orange candy.

Taste: Peppery roast ,burnt malt finishes with a citrus twang.

Mouthfeel:  Medium bodied, prickly fizz.

Overall:  A pretty unique beer. I wouldn’t compare it to a porter, stout or Black IPA.  I’d like to try this on draft, I suspect it’s better that way.
