Australian beer No. 100

The touch of salt adds a hint of sophistication to what would otherwise be a citrusy, light summer beer.

Murky, deep dark brown beer resembles black coffee. The head is tan, cotton and reaches two fingers. The foamy pillow descends quickly to a frazil-icy lacing on top. The scent offers colossal mocha, a tad raw chocolate and identifiable tobacco. A slight burned note follows. The gustatory experience follows exactly along the same path: loads of strong espresso, roasted coffee beans, a good amount of raw chocolate and a distinct charred nuance. Quite predictable but delicious. The body is medium. The beer ends with hefty mocha and raw dark chocolate. The bitter aftertaste lingers in mouth for a rather long time. The mouthfeel is strong, extraordinarily soft and truly smooth. It's also a bit charred and slightly dry. Works beautifully with nannygaj and lemongrass.
