MIdnight at Port

Well, another first. Just picked up a bomber of Port Midnight Expression Black Lager, thanks to JT at Beercraft in Rohnert Park.

Being a serious, but admitted, hophead I am usually found with my face deep into an overly hopped ale, when doing equally serious quaffing. But Black Lagers seem to be showing up more often so being the adventurous soul that I am, must try them (obligation to my readers, you know).

Being a lager, the ABV is low, 5.5% in this case, qualifying it as a session beer. Color is easily 50+ SRM as befits this roasty malt flavor. I find it refreshing, an excellent change of pace beer which doesn't fatigue the palate.
