Notes

ABV: 5.9% | IBU: 30.1

Inspired by the fantasy lore of a fallen, magical city, Shadow Over Metrol is a dark brew that is as complex as the ruined wastes it honors. It pours a desolate, pitch-black hue with a dense head, but drinks with the brisk, refreshing snap of a clean lager.

The Foundation: Smooth notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and bready caramel. By utilizing dehusked roasted Carafa malts, it delivers profound depth without any harsh, burnt astringency.

The Bite: A sharp, resinous pine bitterness from Chinook hops and earthy spice from Saaz mirror an unforgiving, rugged landscape.

The Finish: A delicate hint of late-addition honey and floral Strisselspalt hops serves as a fleeting reminder of lost beauty, fading into a highly effervescent, brilliantly clean finish.

Dark, complex, and deceptively drinkable.
