Crisp and Smooth
Monteith's Black Beer is in a league of its own in the heritage of very dark West Coast beers.
By today's standards, Monteith's Black Beer is distinctive, with a higher alcohol content than mainstream beers and a crisp dark saltiness. This complex malty characteristic shines through from the use of five different premium malts. With biscuit, nutty caramel, chocolate and coffee malt characteristics.
Monteith's Black Beer has an Original Gravity (OG) of 1051, alcohol of 5.2%, a medium perceived bitterness of 16 and a final gravity of 1012+. This combination provides a rich smooth body that continues to develop as the beer is enjoyed.
It is best enjoyed with its traditional food partner, oysters, or as a pleasing bottom note to fresh smoked eel.
