Description

Introducing Black Swan, a captivating Weissbier - Dunkelweizen crafted by the renowned The Mussel Inn in New Zealand. This dark wheat beer boasts a substantial body and a long, enticing neck, promising a truly remarkable drinking experience. The Black Swan pours a velvety black, crowned with a dense, creamy tan head that lingers endlessly. The aroma is a symphony of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and charred malt, with hints of toffee, vanilla, and a touch of smoke, adding layers of complexity and depth. On the palate, the beer explodes with a full-bodied, robust flavor profile. Roasted barley and dark chocolate dominate, delivering a rich and satisfying bitterness, while subtler notes of coffee, toffee, and a hint of caramel add layers of sweetness and balance. The mouthfeel is creamy and velvety smooth, with a moderate carbonation that provides a pleasant effervescence, coating the tongue like a luxurious robe and leaving a lingering warmth behind. The finish is long and satisfying, with a lingering bitterness that interplays perfectly with the sweet undertones, and a hint of smokiness adding a final touch of complexity.
