Summit Black
A dark mahogany Schwarzbier with complex malt aromas, then delicate roasty malt notes reminiscent of toasted bread crusts, with hints of cocoa and grain. Summit calls it a German-style dark lager: light-bodied, clean and crisp, with a snappy finish. It debuted on tap in the Ratskeller taproom and was named the Brewer's Choice beer in a Summit variety pack.
