Ryan:<\/strong> Sorry about the lack of a picture of the beer itself.\u00a0 This beer, and few others I’m reviewing this week, we’re consumed out of a 6 oz plastic cup at my hotel room in Michigan during a recent business trip.\u00a0 I know I have said this before, but I should at least pack a pint glass from home for these trips.<\/p>\nThis offering from Short’s is an advertised…to an extent.\u00a0 It did pour black, pitch black to be exact, with a nice khaki, tan head.\u00a0 So that jives with the “Black Beer” description on the label. But don’t let the rest of it, which reads: “For when you’re hungry and thirsty,” intimidate you.\u00a0 This is a German Schwarzbier which essentially means it is a dark beer but not a porter or a stout.\u00a0 Think of Sustenance as a dark in color, high in flavor and light in body beer.<\/p>\n
Stick your nose in your glass, or in my case a plastic cup (sigh), and you smell hints of toffee and caramel.\u00a0 The taste is similar to the smell; toffee, soft, chewy caramel and coffee.\u00a0 Sustenance finishes with a touch of hop bitterness.<\/p>\n
This is a very easy to drink, sessionable offering from Short’s.\u00a0 Again, don’t let the label fool you.\u00a0 This is not going to sit in your stomach like a ton of bricks.\u00a0 In fact, you’ll probably want to head back to the fridge and polish off one or two more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
