And we’re back with another winning brew from Two Roots Brewing Co. Porter fans behold, this is going to become your new favorite nonalcoholic beer.
Black Out Dark Brew is a black beauty showing you a full drinking experience. This brew is very well balanced, moving you through a deep, dark flavor journey to a dry finish.
There’s a lot of dark chocolate up front, followed by a bit of caramel shining through the malts, and some roasted coffee. There’s not much sweetness in this one. This brew will appeal most to serious porter fans and beer drinkers who like their coffee black and their chocolate dark, dark, dark. If you’re one of those hard core dark chocolate aficionados who prefer the 100% cacao variety, you’ll love Black Out Dark Brew.
If I got stranded on an island with only one non-alcoholic brewery to supply me for the rest of my life, I wouldn’t hesitate to blur out “Two Roots, please!”
This brew pours a small pearly head on a dark-as-the-ocean-on-a-moonless-night body.
It smells of chocolate and sweetly roasted malts. From the first sip at fridge temperature to the last sip after it sat out for a bit to develop its full aroma, this brew is a rewarding non-alcoholic porter you’ll want to enjoy slowly.
Available for $13.99 as a 6-pack directly from Two Roots Brewing Co online with free shipping when you order two 6-packs or more. If you’d like to pair this with another great Two Roots brew from their current catalog, I can recommend (with links to my respective review):
Resin Riot DIPA if you love very hoppy beers
New West IPA if you like your IPAs more citrus-forward
Straight Drank IPA if you like some dankness or mustiness
Passionfruit Pucker if you love your sour ales really sour and juicy
Helles Enough Said if you enjoy German-style lager beers and you don’t mind some West Coast hoppiness
And yes, I did just recommend any and all of Two Roots Brewing Co’s current brews. And I mean it. I’ve never had a Two Roots brew that I didn’t love. If I got stranded on an island with only one non-alcoholic brewery to supply me for the rest of my life, I wouldn’t hesitate to blur out “Two Roots, please!”
Black Out Dark Brew will pair well with cold nights, playing chess or other games, reminiscing with friends, reading a captivating book by a fireplace, and BBQs, smoked meats, rich stews, and chili.
