Grainworks Luke I am your lager

ABV 5.7%

This is the first beer I have had from Grainworks Brewing in West Chester Township, OH. I love a good black lager and who could pass up a beer with such a fantastic name as this. Very creative thinking here. The beer is their version of a traditional German Schwarzbier. A very dark brown color in the glass with a nice creamy brown head formation that gives off a rich and malty nose. The beer shows flavors of malt, coffee and some chocolate unfortunately the overall experience is a bit weak and watery. The whole beer falls a bit flat and never holds up to the promise of its nose and appearance. I was certainly hoping for much more. Not an auspicious first tasting for me from this brewery, but I will certainly try more from them in hopes that this was a fluke.
