Borg Ale
A dark ale built on dark Munich and black malt, pouring near-black with a brown edge. The roast is restrained, closer to cocoa and dark bread crust than to coffee, with a light caramel sweetness from the Munich behind it. German Tradition hops keep the aroma herbal and floral rather than citric and the bitterness moderate. At 5.6 percent the body is medium and the finish dry, with a clean roasted note.
