Nothing extraordinary. Pretty run of the mill, but it is well brewed, just not very exciting. REWE Dresden

0.5l bottle. Dark ruby body with an off white head. Cocoa, toast, raisins, a hint of licorice and a touch of floral hops to it. The body is a bit watery, but still a nice schwarzbier.

0.5 l bottle from local 'trinkgut', best before February 2018. Clear, very dark red to black with a thin, dense, stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity and a bit roasty aroma of caramel, raisins and toasted nuts. Quite sweet, malty, slightly roasty and a bit fruity taste of caramel, toasted nuts, some chocolate and a touch of raisins with hints of wort, followed by a short, slightly bitter, a bit roasty and minimally metallic finish. Almost medium-bodied, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Quite okay, at least easily drinkable but also far from great.

Can: Pours deep, rubied brown with a tall, oatmeal-looking head. Chocolate, dark grain aroma. Taste is mildly sweet chocolate malt, caramel, cola. Pretty tasty.....but also a bit on the watery side.

Draught. Aroma is some coffee, but apart from it - empty. Nearly no bitterness. Light body, too high carbonation. Boring.

300ml on tap, nicely served in an original glass outside at Cafe Elbflorenz, Bad Schandau. Slowly diminishing beige head leaving spotty lacing behind. Deep dark in body colour with a rustic shade. Plain roasted dark malts on the nose, bready. Roasted flavours, moments of liquorice, dark bread, nuts, moderate candy sweetness, and hints of dark fruits. Roasted malty ending. Fine bodied. Good drinking, well-made version of the style (03.07.2016).
