Additional Info:
From their website:
Phil, our quality development whiz, stumbled onto Zwartbier in an 1888 British tome called The Popular Beverages of Various Countries. He and brewmaster Peter made two trips to Belgium to research this obscure style in the archives of Belgium's specialty brewers. The oldest reference to these black beers that our dynamic duo uncovered was the year 1554.
Tasting Impressions:
Thick. Mild overall. Sort of tastes like a Belgian version of a Porter or Milk stout. Malty, sweet. Yes - tastes like a Porter (although the label says it isn't) A little chocolatey. A little dry and hoppy, but not much. Actually, it becomes a little bland after a while.
