In the can: The deep black color — and robust roasty nose — would probably put many people off of this as a summer beer, but as soon as it hits the taste buds that's exactly what it is: bright, smooth and refreshing. Then comes the complexity from the roasted malt, with a minor creaminess that ups the body from a lighter lager, along with elements of light char and coffee. But Baba is at heart a light and drinkable beer, and its moderate alcohol keeps it from seeming overly weighty, no matter the color.
