A Kulmbacher style black lager. Intensely black in color, it has a pleasant malt flavor and aroma with hints of bitter sweet chocolate.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a soft dark brown close to black color with a fingers worth of white to off white foamy head that slid off at a moderate pace. Sliding lace.
The aroma had some milk chocolate, grains/cereals, some earthiness, and a touch of woodiness.
The flavor was semi-sweet with a sturdy embracing bitterness from the wood flowing in for the blend. Aftertaste was semi-bitter with the sweetness from the chocolate. Not much of a finish.
The palate was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine.
Overall, seemed more like one of those Euro dark lagers than a real schwarzbier, still, its nothing bad, just dont expect to get an authentic German schwarzbier.

tap at the brewpub - Pours very dark brown with a thin tan head. It has a roast coffee and malt aroma. The flavor is much the same with a touch of fruit. It’s medium to full-bodied and finishes with a little bitterness. Very nice.
