Year of New Beer: Black Toad Dark Ale, Trader Joe's (CA)

Written By: Dion on 08/27/2013

Depending on what source you use, this beer is contract brewed either by Gordon Biersch in CA or by Goose Island in IL. Either way, it's a decent brown ale with aromas of caramelized sugar and raisins. Fairly similar in taste, with hints of coffee and toasted bread. Not mind-blowing in any sense, but an easy drinking beer at the least.
