Schwarzbier, is German for "Black Beer". It is an extremely dark, well hopped, medium strength lager. Schwarzbier's complexity is derived from its heavy use of dark, roasted, and smoked barley malt. It's a roasty beer, with a hint of smoky sweetness that's balanced with a robust hop bitterness. Staying true to its German Lager heritage, it has an incredibly clean, crisp finish

16oz can c/o Ryan. Solid example of the style. Crisp and clean. Great malt tone, depth. Smoke is mild and it still a Schwarz, just has nice depth...but I just drank a Schlenkerla before it so hard to tell. Pleasant bitter balance to the rich roasty malt tone. Good stuff.
