Fles gekocht op vakantie, geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een diep donkerbruin bier met een volle beige schuim welke snel weg ebt. Het heeft een moutige wat gebrande licht rokerige geur. De smaak is moutig, gebrand, caramel en dropachtig.

Tap in Albergen. Deep dark brown color. Subtle roast and soap in the aroma. Sweetish flavor with roast, malt and licorice. Quite drinkable.

(Draught at Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 22 Feb 2018) Dark brown colour, almost black, with creamy beige head. Malty, roasted nose with caramel, dark fruit and black rye bread. Malty, roasted taste with notes of caramel, coffee, dark fruit, raisins and a finish with a mild bitterness and a slight acidity. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Quite enjoyable.

Bottle at a tasting. Somewhat peaty, medicinal, lots of ambiguous fruitiness. Really not easy drinking. Meh, this one failed hard even though it pains me.

Way too sour for a schwarzbier, just blasts all away. Some toastyness in the smell, not enough in the taste. Some random sweetness. Meh. Getting better after getting used to it. More toastyness, some fruit (blackberries). Still not smoky enough, not bitter at all.
