Dark in color, but not heavy like a stout or porter, this black lager may change your mind about dark beers. Using a special cold-steeping method for the black malt to reduce bitter tannins, Chromos has a malty flavor accentuated by subtle chocolate and roasted notes, but it finishes very clean and crisp like a standard lager or pilsner. The addition of Mt. Hood hops balances the other ingredients in perfect harmony, giving you a smooth tasting lager without being overly sweet.

    Great beer

    First time lagering. Wanted to branch out and do something different. Originally brewed in September and bottles the second week of October. Cracked the first one in Halloween. Got to say. It was really smooth. It looks heavier than it is. Almost two weeks later the beer tastes even better.

    My First Lager and It's Great!

    I just poured the trub bottle of ChromosBeer right at minimum conditioning time. This is a tasty beer crisp like a lager should be but with a good dark character. There's a subtle roasted flavor that comes through even though the black malt was cold-steeped (having never used cold-steeped grains I was unsure how much flavor they'd add). It's malty but a well-balanced malty. There's not a trace of twang. I'll be brewing this one again.
