Brewed as a traditional schwarzbier, this easy-drinking, crisp dark lager has hints of chocolate and coffee as well as our own addition of toasted coconut, bringing complexity and character to this german style black beer.

473ml can. Pours an unclear dark brown, almost black with red hue and a medium, creamy, long lasting, beige head that leaves sticky curtains of soapy lace. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, coconut and coffee. Sweet flavour of chocolate malt, coconut and vanilla in a dry, mild bitter coffee finish. Medium body with a creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Fun, tasty and easy to drink.

Poured from 473mL can. Dark brown with small beige head. Lots of roasted malt with light toasted coconut. Fairly decent.

Good black body and decent foam, smells of soft vague coconut and dark biscuit. Flavour is okay biscuit coconut and nothing else, a little wet on the finish. Decent enough but a little underwhelming.

Dark brown. Light coconut nose, on the palate, it’s got a nice toasty, light chocolate note and not much coconut. Ok schwarzbier though.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours black with a small light brown head. Aroma reveals a nice mix of robust roasted malt and fairly subtle toasted coconut. Flavour is similarly robust, with toasted coconut and rich roasted malt. Dry, nutty and roasty on the finish. Good stuff.

Draught at the brewery
The color is almost black, the mouthfeel is dry and lean, some roasted malt, but the roasted coconut dominates, so that’s the only thing you get here.
What’s the point of brewing a beer with large amounts of adjuncts so that it doesn’t taste anymore like beer?
I’m puzzled.
