How the hell have I not written about Jack's Abby
yet? Hoponius Union is one of my top five favorite beers. I've never been
disappointed with any of there beers. I remember getting the first bottle of
beer from them. In March of 2012 Jack's Abby released its very first bottled
beer in cute little half liter bottles. And what was that release? A
Schwarzbier, a German style black lager originating in Thuringia, Germany
dating back to the 1500s, and a type beer that just isn't too prevalent in this
market. I can probably count on one hand the number of black lagers I see on
the shelf. And I can tell you how many are better than Jack's Abby's Cascadian
Schwarzbier: Zero.
Cascadian Schwarzbier is, so far, the best black lager I've
ever tasted, and I might be partial to the strong hops in this guy, that smell
like a delicious christmas tree mixed with some roasted chocolate and coffee.
The beer itself is a deep and black, and the taste itself is much more
chocolate than the coffee in the nose, with delicious hop resin sticking to
just about everything it can. I highly doubt the original German version of
this beer is this hoppy, but I just don't care. It doesn't matter when it’s
this delicious.
