Inconspicious beige head over hazy dark brown beer with red highlights. Sweet bready nose, and lots of milk- and dark chocolate. Then freshly made coffee, former aromas proving very volatile. Soft sweet, chocolatey flavour. Sweetish malts, colourmalts giving a very low-key bitterness. Warming up, a certain spicy flavour appears, alas under recognition treshold. Light to medium bodied, lots of grist slickness. Sweet. Not uninteresting, but still too sweet for my preferences, too worts- or tablebeer-like. Thanks, DA!

They might call it a schwarzbier, but it has the qualities of a Czech dunkel and a fairly good one at that. Light malt and caramel in the aroma, followed by more caramel and smoke in the flavor. Black with very little head, and just a hint of that Viking house flavor. Medium body and a session beer. Like a Czech beer, it has good palate. I recommend a style change to dunkel but will wait to see what others think of this beer.
