Karnera is their version of an English stout.
Appearance: Deep black/brown, dark brown head with good retention.
Aroma: Bitter chocolate, mocha, coffee, pecan pralines, darkly toasted bread.
Taste: Soft malt bitterness, bitter chocolate, nuttiness, sweet medium-length finish.
Overall Impression: This is an excellent example of a well balanced stout. The carbonation is nice and help balance out the sweeter, darker notes. There’s a good mix of dark roasted flavors that make this a nice stout for someone who doesn’t care for the more darkly, bitter stouts that push the boundaries of burnt espresso.
Food Pairing: Grilled meats (Steak, pork, chicken), chocolate cake, smoked salmon, cured meats.
Availability: In limited quantities at better beer stores who carry Shelton Brothers products.
