Name: Black Orchard
Brewer: The Bruery (Placentia, CA)
Classification: Belgian Dark Ale
Alcohol: 5.7%
Thoughts: Here we have a Belgian Dark Ale from in the infamous The Breuery. Black Orchard is an unfiltered, bottle conditioned Belgian-style black wheat beer, or “black wit”, if you will. It is a very elusive style of beer and I was not going to miss up the only opportunity I have had to try it. This monster of a brew poured out an almost pitch black with a thick foamy beige head. The aroma was even bigger than the head. Is was filled with peppercorn, sweet malts, plums and maybe some citrus. The taste was even bigger than the smell which was already bigger than the look of this black beast. The dry malty flavor mixed with the citrus, plum fruitiness, and a touch of oatmeal. The finish was moist, alcoholic and slightly bitter. It was an extremely grand taste that I know there is more in there some where. It is a lot to handle, but I really do recommend this beer to experienced drinkers.
Rating: 86/100
