Penn Dark by Pennsylvania Brewing Company
All of those gorgeous 80 degree days I think are finally behind us here in NJ. It is time for some fall weather to kick in. Not that that is a bad thing with temps in the 60′s. As long as the rain stays away…it will make for some really pleasant days and cool nights. And with the lower temperatures, I slowly roll on to the conclusion of my 365 Days Of Beer.
Beer #318 is Penn Dark by Pennsylvania Brewing Company brewed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Their version of a Munich Dunkel Lager has an ABV of 5%.
This beer poured a dark brown with a hint of red to it when held up to the light. There wasn’t any head to speak of whatsoever. The nose was roasted malts, dark fruit like plums, and a bit of chocolate. I could taste the slightly sweet roasted caramel nature of the malts most of all her with some nice nutty flavors. The plum I got on the nose really didn’t come out in the flavor neither did the chocolate. I did get a dark bread like pumpernickel flavor throughout most of the mouthful. The body was not quite medium bordering on being light. Not really watery…just light. The carbonation was a bit on the low side and that made this quite smooth. It went down real easy.
This was a pretty good beer…I think I may have a few more of these in the basement that I will have to indulge on.
