16.9 oz can. One of those beers that I can't believe I've never rated. Pours black with brown highlights and a large beige head with excellent retention. Aroma is dark bread, chalky, malt. Taste is lightly sweet, finishing lightly bitter and dry. Flavors of bread, chocolate, toasted marshmallow, coffee. Could use a bit more carbonation. Not bad, but a bit bland.

Bummer of a schwarzbier, aiming for dark and roasty but coming off more fruity and bitter, lacking much by way of chocolate or deep roasted malt notes and instead offering up a weird red apple center laced with espresso and floral Euro hops. Hints of toffee underneath the apple, but never develops the typical heavy black lager traits you want. Pours a dark, dark brown with a slight off-white head and minor lacing. Nose has faint notes of chocolate and yeast. Good sparkly texture, but otherwise a letdown.

Cerveza oscura de baja fermentación, de color negro, con espuma fina y densa de buena retención.Aroma suave a maltas tostadas, lo que predomina también en su sabor. El caracter tostado deja un gusto en la boca a café, con una correcta carbonatación. Su cuerpo es medio, con un ligero amargor final. Buena cerveza, ideal para acompañarla con salchichas alemanas.
