Buzzards Bay Brewing Company's Black Lager

Well, these have been sitting around for a while and when I looked up the brewery online I discovered that the brewery has changed hands and all Buzzards Bay labels/beers have been discontinued. I guess the schwartz wasn't with them.

Pours a deep copper brown, almost opaque. Nice tan head for a lager.

Good malt smell, with no apparent hops. I hate to use "dark fruit" as a description, but that fits here. Kind of like a yeasty raisin. Slightly roasted flavor as well.

The fruit/sweetness is mostly gone in the taste. Slightly roasted, moderately bitter and roasted, with a clean feel.

I'm not a huge fan of this style, and of the ones that I've had I think I like this one the least.
