On the Dark wheel, from Tree House’s own descriptions of this beer.
We've been waiting our whole lives for this beer. Patient Nomad is our Czech Dark Lager, brewed with authentic light and dark floor-malted barley and a variety of roasted malts. It’s incredibly crisp, with complex notes of cocoa powder, brown bread, hay, and earthy noble hops. Nomad is the cornerstone of our classic beer program and, over time, has seen various tweaks to its recipe and process. We’ve rested it in our oak foeder, on sugar maple, and even given it a charge of nitro carbonation. The smallest changes can have a huge effect on beers like this, and for this rendition, “time” is the key ingredient. There’s an intuitive aspect to these beers that feels tied to the natural world; the cold slows things down, and they thrive when they aren't rushed. Patient Nomad was fermented cold and rested for a good part of the long winter in our horizontal tanks, gradually dropping to near-freezing temperatures as natural carbonation infused into it. The result is just about everything you could ask for in a Tree House beer.
