Score

6.88

ABV: 4.9%

IBU: -

Ticks: 14

This crisp clean dark lager begins with hints of roasted coffee beans and rich chocolate but showcases a surprisingly light body and mouthfeel. This schwarzbier is moderately hopped with noble German hops that compliment the delicate malt backbone. Not to be underestimated, this light lager is a true champion of flavor.

Nitro pour at Brass Tap. Nitro really mellows it out, accentuates the delicate roast and chocolate tones. Pretty good.

Can, from the source. Pours dark brown with faint red highlights, large spongy dark beige head, caramel malt aroma, adequate carbonation, bitter roasted malt taste, thin body, long bitter finish. Good one.

At Whole Foods, Vienna in the growler: pours dark brown with an off white head. Aroma is a bit nutty, pretzels, roasty. Taste is roasty and lightly bitter. Pretty light bodied. Solid.

Can. Near black with plenty of fizz. Roasty malts and chocolate upfront, followed by some liquorice and a decent , bitter, finish. Enjoyable.
