BALTER BLACK LABEL - NOW ON TAP
Lake Macquarie Hotel
FROM THE BREWER: Black Lager Tasting Notes.
Colour:
Deep black with a creamy tan head.
Aroma:
Subtle roasted espresso, dark chocolate, hints of cherry and molasses
Palate:
Light-bodied but full of flavour. Chocolate up front, a little roast on the mid-palate, finishing crisp with a dry rice snap.
Bitterness:
Low and smooth. Enough to balance the malt but never steal the spotlight.
If you want the fun rundown, here’s Balter's official take.
Like a biker ballerina, this beer looks as tough as nails but is light on its feet with all the right moves. Surprisingly smooth to sip, its subtle chocolate and espresso notes finish with a pop of cherry and shimmy of molasses–all from rice, barley and hops.
Proof you can wear black and still be the life of the party.
