Khazad, the flagship brew of Natural 20 Brewing Co, is where our journey into the craft of brewing first took flight. With its luxurious deep amber hue and a creamy, lingering head, Khazad is a testament to the art of traditional Scottish brewing.

Stats:

ABV: 6.8%

Perceived Bitterness: Moderate (20.7 IBUs)

Color: Rich Amber (17.4 SRM)

Tasting Notes:
Aroma: As you bring the glass closer, be greeted by an alluring aroma of caramel and toasted malts, with just a whisper of chocolate. The earthy notes from the hops gently weave in, creating a complex and inviting bouquet.

Flavor: On the first sip, Khazad delivers a symphony of flavors – the sweetness of caramel and toffee is perfectly balanced by a touch of roasted malts and a moderate hop bitterness. This harmony creates a robust yet smooth flavor profile, with each sip revealing more layers of depth.

Finish: The finish is where Khazad truly shines – a smooth, malty richness that gently fades, leaving a subtle sweetness on the palate. This lingering taste is warm and comforting, encouraging another sip.

Perfect Pairings:
Neverwinter Nachos: The malty sweetness of Khazad complements the sharp cheeses and enhances the savory chicken and prosciutto, while balancing the sweetness of the BBQ sauce.

The Barbarian Flatbread: Khazad's robust maltiness and caramel notes harmonize with the spicy andouille sausage and jalapeños, accentuating the fire-roasted peppers and barbecue sauce.

Lembas Bread: The multi-layered malts of Khazad, with caramel and toasted bread flavors, pair wonderfully with the rich, garlicky blend of five cheeses.

As our inaugural commercial brew, Khazad holds a special place at Natural 20 Brewing Co and in the hearts of our patrons. It has set the standard for our brewing philosophy: to craft beers that are as memorable and authentic as the tabletop adventures they accompany.
