Showing their true colors of creativity, New Belgium Brewing and Terrapin Beer Company have teamed up to bring you this extraordinary style of beer. "Black is the New Wit" gets its absence of color from intensely roasted wheat and dehusked barley. Components of rye and both malted and unmalted wheat complete the mouthfeel while coriander, orange peel, and wood aging give this beer its distinctive flavor. Terrapin version aged on sassafras.

Pours rich chocolate brown with a substantial tan head. Aroma is not strong, but the wheaty, rye, malty, and subtle fruity notes invite a taste. Flavor is bolder, though, letting rye, wheat, roast malt, and banana tones swim across the tongue. Texture has average viscosity but some good fizz. Get witty!

This year’s version @ 7.4%- I thought this would be more like a black ale or IPA, but the flavors are more in line of a Belgian White. Has that coriander/orange peel flavor, but also mixed with heavy chocolate malt. Has a medium-heavy texture. Hopped pretty well. Added smokiness from the wood aging. Overall, the concept and beer is good...just didn’t work quite 100% for me.
