Draft - Dark malts and light smoke. Jet black brown with a decent beige head. Dark malts, touch of smoke and a light finis. Decent.

Draught at the brewery
Black color with beige head. Aroma of ashes and dark malts. Dry mouthfeel , weak; roasted malt flavor, ashes, therefore the tiny smoke touch is almost completely hidden; high malt acidity too.
It's like a runoff of a more famous MΓ€rzen Rauchbier; as is, more dirty water than pleasant beer.

Those specs are definitely schwarzbier, not pilsner. Dark brown. Medium head. Light smoke on the nose, with a bit of roast malt. Medium body, toasty dark malts and a moderate smoke. Light bitterness...very much a smoked schwarzbier. Not bad.
