The Bruery Black Orchard Review

After tasting Orchard White we were excited to give the Black Orchard a go. This beer pours, unsurprisingy...black with big milkshake colored head. The aroma of this been is downright amazing with very dry chocolate with some mild orange followed up with a bit of dry spice from the yeast and wheat.

The description of the bottle really describes this beer well. It tastes a bit like chocolate cake and orange. It's a very interesting beer, and very drinkable. We tried it with a whole mix of friends who range from craft beer drinkers to just people who will dabble in trying new things and all enjoyed it. This is a great beer to prove that dark does not equal heavy when it comes to beer. While the flavors described above sound heavy the beer drinks much lighter and is one of the cooler beers we've tried recently, we'll be picking up some more of this to share with more friends.

Pairing Note: Paired very well with both espresso and candied ginger dark chocolate which we happened to have on hand.
