The Beer

 

Certainly dry, it even seems to suck the moisture right out of your mouth.  It causes that same tongue drying sensation as hot tea.  It’s bitter up front and around the mouth.  There’s a little sweetness and caramel flavor to balance it out.  Texturally, its medium/heavy bodied and is slightly chewy. 

 

I found this one to be a little too drying for me.   Also, I expected something a little more rebellious from a beer called Black Sheep Ale…

 

Would I buy it again?

 

This is one black sheep I won’t be inviting to the family picnic.  It’s far to average to cost $5.00 a bottle.

 

Also, I realize I should have probably dranken it out of a pint glass… sorry.
