#25 Grinders Grand Cru

Mini-Mash - deep golden in color with a firm yet refined malty palate. Taste and aroma have suggestions of smoke and licorice, with subtle hints of fruit and spice. An excellent beer to enjoy during the cooler seasons.

Mini-Mash

In Theory - a deceptive combination of malts and hops to provide a dark beer with a lighter, more balanced flavor. It isn't too light, it isn't too heavy, it isn't too sweet, it isn't too bitter
