"Eibauer Schwarzbier", Flasche von Getränke Hoffmann, Gallinchen (Cottbus), verkostet 10.6.2025 im Direktvergleich mit dem "Schwarzen Esel" aus Eisenach. - Tiefdunkles Kastanienrotbraun. - In der Nase schlankes aber solides Röstmalz, Espresso, Anklänge an Torf und mild hopfenwürzige Hintergrundhopfung. - Antrunk arg schlank, ja wäßrig röstmalzig mit entsprechend blasser Röstmalzigkeit, kaum Süße und nur matter Hopfenherbe. Stark rezent. Im Abgang kippt die Aromatik leicht ins Billige. - Wenig Substanz (nur 4,5 %) und zuviel Kohlensäure beeinträchtigen dieses Schwarzbier, das optisch wie olfaktorisch ganz solide wirkt und auch aromatisch weitgehend fehlerfrei ist.

Aroma of malt, bread, grain, caramel, some roast. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a light bittersweet finish. Not impressed, too thin and weak.

500 ml can from the Costco German Biergarten Collection. Pours a clear, very dark amber-brown color with a thick khaki head and very good retention. Very good lacing too. Dark malt aroma, as expected. The taste follows the nose: Smooth, clean, and lightly sweet dark malt flavor throughout. Simple, uncomplicated profile. Nice, easy drinking beer. Medium-light body. Medium-light carbonation. No bitterness and no coffee notes.
