Okanagan Spring opened their doors in 1985 in Vernon, BC, Canada. They've had a distinctive history and helped to popularize the microbrew movement in BC, opening just a year after the first microbrewery in BC. They have expanded to the point where they are no longer considered to be a microbrewery, but have still managed to craft quality beers.
It has a very deep black colour with a light brown head.
It smells of espresso and malt with chocolate and hop undertones.
The espresso taste comes right to the start with the hops and malt coming in equally and together mingling with the espresso flavours. The chocolate peaks its head out just before the finish and all the flavours mingle and fade away and finish cleanly.
A beautifully flavourful and complex black lager. The flavour isn't too big to overpower most foods, but the dark chocolate and espresso notes lend itself especially to rich foods and red meat.
