A smooth, dark lager with layers of toasted bread, caramel, and cocoa from a rich malt bill. Celeia and Aurora hops add delicate floral, herbal, and subtle spice notes. Clean fermentation keeps it crisp, while soft roast and a balanced bitterness create a refined, drinkable beer with elegant complexity.

330ml can via Beer52, drank at home late on Saturday night, 7th February 2026 (after a party). Almost black in colour, beige roof. Strange one in my eye's; half Black IPA, half Black Lager, wasn't overly impressed to be honest.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A mahogany coloured pour with a thick beige head; odd vegetal aroma; chocolate malt taste; then a sweet fudgy finish. Not a great schwartzbier.

Amazing pour that looked like a rich stout. The taste was like a party in my mouth with everyone invited. Malt, hops, liquorice and as my friend said, sasparilla. A really good beet, but I couldn't manage more than one as it was a bit too much.

330ml can from Beer52. Pours a dark brown with smooth beige head. Notes of dusty dark malt, brown bread, nuts and chocolatey sweet finish. Nice bittersweet balance and session quality to it. Light to mid bodied. Nice.
