MORGANTON, N.C. — Catawba Brewing is now pouring their Small Batch Black Currant Chocolate Brown Ale (6.1 percent ABV). This English-style Brown Ale was brewed with chocolate and crystal malts and Magnum hops. It was then conditioned on black currants and locally-sourced cacao beans. Flavor notes include dark chocolate, caramel, and sweet malt, balanced by a touch of berry-like tartness.
Black Currant Chocolate Brown Ale is Passport Beer #6 in Catawba’s 2018 Small Batch rewards program. Brewed in their Asheville South Slope brewhouse, the beer is available exclusively in Catawba’s four tasting rooms.
