Taste Buds 179: We fade to black! (Left Hand Fade to Black)
From the Brewer: Fade to Black pours black with notes of licorice, espresso beans, molasses, and black cardamom notes. It ties into that time of year when we fall backwards an hour, this year from November 1st until March 14th. Creatively brewed to pair with shorter, darker days. Its 8.5% ABV gives way to a feeling of self loathing, burnt opportunities and smoked relationships. And like “some late visitor entreating entrance at your chamber door”, six different malts and two different hop varieties create the “darkness there, and nothing more.” Available in 6 packs and kegs.
