Enegren Brewing Company

Enegren Brewing Company Nighthawk is a refined Schwarzbier that balances deep, dark malt complexity with the crisp, refreshing drinkability of a lager. The sensory profile is led by aromatic notes of earthy, dark roasted coffee and a rich palate of extra dark chocolate. Despite its midnight hue, the use of huskless dark roasted malts ensures a smooth experience free from burnt harshness. Clean fermentation allows the subtle Munich malt breadiness to shine through, finishing dry with a gentle, noble hop bitterness. It remains light and approachable, making it an ideal choice for dark beer enthusiasts seeking summer-friendly refreshment.

Appearance. Deep ruby to very dark brown (approx. 25-30 SRM). It displays brilliant clarity with garnet highlights when held to the light. Crowned by a large, persistent, tan-colored head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a clean, bready malt base layered with distinctive earthy dark roasted coffee notes. A low, floral and herbal hop presence provides balance. The fermentation character is very clean, typical of a well-lagered German beer, with no esters or phenols.

Taste. Initial impression is of smooth, rich extra dark chocolate supported by a moderate bready malt sweetness. A light roasted bitterness emerges mid-palate but remains free of burnt or acrid qualities. Hop bitterness is medium-low, providing just enough structure to keep the beer balanced. The hop flavor is subtly herbal and spicy. It finishes clean and dry with a lingering hint of cocoa and roasted malt.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to moderately-high carbonation, contributing to a crisp, lively mouthfeel. Exceptionally smooth with no perceived astringency or harshness. Alcohol warmth is absent, aligning with its sessionable strength.
