Bored with your standard old lagers? I am. This offering from Monteith's had me thanking my lucky stars that I had grabbed a couple of these blacks in a random mixed dozen from Dan Murphy's. The crisp maltiness and deep caramel and coffee tones made it a true delight.I guess I'm not a beer purist - I'm more than happy to have a few other flavours in my beer to supplement the hops, barley and yeasty flavours - so overall I tend to lean towards the lighter ales with fruity or honey flavours. This Black Beer from Monteith's gave me another range of tastes - hints of biscuit, caramels and coffees, in a nicely balanced beer that has some good crisp maltiness. Recently having developed a taste for some fine whiskeys, I found this beer to be similarly complex in these rich deep flavours, especially that roasted coffee note. Something to really savour, but which could just as easily be quaffed down.
After a long day of kitchen renovations, I threw a few gourmet snags, kransky's, steaks and prawns on the barbie, and washed it all down with a few Montheith's blacks. What a great way to polish off the day.
