Budweiser Batch no. 91406 aka Black Crown:
Greetings fellow beer lovers, drinkers, and general fans of the beer craft.  Today let’s look at a beer that made it’s debut the other day in that “big game” in New Orleans: Budweiser Black Crown.  This beer has actually been out for a while, known as Batch no. 91406 and described as “A deep amber lager brewed with two-row and caramel malts and finished on beechwood chips” and designed by Budweiser’s Los Angeles brewmaster Bryan Sullivan.  The beer pours a nice light amber color with a bit of the familiar watered down foamy head, no lacing, ascending columns of carbonation and a slight nose of bready malts and a touch of caramel.  The beer’s taste is very similar to that of a regular Budweiser but does have the sweet aftertaste replaced by a dry caramel flavor that does linger a bit but really the dryness is what sticks around.  As you may have noticed the beer sports a 6% ABV which ties it for the highest ABV for any beer carrying the Budweiser name (Bud Light Platinum also has the same ABV) but a high ABV does not make a good beer.  This beer is decent but nothing to shake a stick at unless you’re a fan of Budweiser and your seeking a change then this beer might just be what you’re looking for in that area.
