Saranac Black Forest Beer Soon to Disappear

Saranac is saying goodbye to it's Black Forest beer, but it may not be forever.

Black Forest is a Bavarian Black beer with a distinctive caramel malt sweetness and a rich creamy trademark head. Flavorful, yet smooth. Although it's a "good beer with a loyal following," it's not one of Saranac's top selling beers.
