Chang
Espresso Coffee Infused Flavored Lager

Category: Flavored Lager

Date Tasted:
Country: Thailand
Alcohol: 4.8%
Burnt sienna color. Roasted aromas and flavors of toasted rice cake, dark buttered wheat bread toast, cured meats, and dark coffee with a satiny, vibrant, finely carbonated, dryish medium body and a smooth, interesting, medium-long finish with notes of chocolate rice bar and mocha nut gelato. A robust, flavor-packed coffee and rice accented lager that makes a big impression.

This category is, practically speaking, a catchall for beers that don’t fit neatly in an existing category. Flavored lagers may be flavored with, or affected by, the addition of unusual ingredients including chocolate, coffee, chili peppers or even juniper. In addition, the base beer may be related to almost any classic beer style. Given the variation possible in this category, there are no established standards for appearance, aroma or flavor. Instead, beers in this category are defined by a pleasing combination of the beer’s elements and overall drinkability. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock, Stiegl Grapefruit Radler and Burleigh Black Giraffe Coffee Lager.
