Mack Daddy
Mack Daddy first appeared on tap in late 2015 as one of Moon Dog's original core beers and is now sold as Dark Ale. The brewery describes a light, sessionable body with subtle roast. Coffee and dark chocolate come from the malt, with a hint of nuts in the background. Earlier descriptions stressed a soft melon and peach hop character; a hoppy note still shows in the finish, which stays dry with a light bitterness.
