drink of the night

On a black night, after a black-and-white movie, with a black-and-white story, who doesn't love a good black beer?  It's not just me, is it?  Can't be.  Temperatures have dipped lately, so the stouts call more than ever.  Blackblock had not only the style of beer but also the style of label that shouts at you from the shelf.

The tingly tangy smell tantalizes the taste buds, although somewhat light.  The beer itself is a good, dark color, beige head, also on the light side.  A touch of bitter first, then a little dark chocolate.  The aftertaste is smoky yet slightly fruity.  It maintains a good balance of tastes, being a relaxing beverage for a chilly evening.
