DRAM IN THE DARK ~ SIDE LAUNCH

Dram in the Dark seems to be a special edition made by Side Launch for a ‘tap-takeover’ for several bars in Toronto. The beer is a dark lager that has been aged in Jack Daniels casks. Sampled on draught, the beer poured dark brown with a modest tan head. The nose was woody and earthy with notes of caramel, a buried dark fruits. The beer was rich, sweet and slightly boozy. Notes of dark fruit and roasted malts were evident. The caramel sweetens as the beer warms. I have tried this several times; the first is when the small cask was tapped and then several days later. Interestingly the beer several days later had much more noticeable smoky and woody characteristics. This would be a lovely end of the night sipper. Really delicious, quite a treat - almost a dessert beer.
