2011 Day 21: Guiness Black Lager


Name: Black Lager
From: Guinness Ltd. - Ireland
Type: Schwarzbier

This review is NOT of the creamy Guinness Stout you see on draught around the world, this is a review of their relatively new Black Lager. If you've read my earlier entries you'll know I'm not a huge lager fan, but I do like black lagers, and it's not a very common style, so I appreciate having another one around. This beer is no Kostritzer (I'll review that later this year), but I thought it was pretty damn good. It's crisp, clean, and flavorful. It was FOUR DEGREES outside today, so knocking back a hearty beer in a warm room after work was a great way to unwind. This was better than expected, and I'm going to keep it in mind, as I can imagine it being available in places that don't have a lot of "fancy" beer.
