(Bottle) Dark brown and clear. Medium sized and lightly tan coloured head. Hops and lightly roastedness in aroma. Medium bodied and dry palate with quite high carbonation. Hops, malts, harshness, bitterness and light roastedness in taste. Bitter aftertaste. Not impressive.

Bottled(500ml). -Nice reddish/brown coloured, medium sized off-white head, weak coffee caramel nose. The taste isn’t much different; very watery with weak notes of coffee and grain. As Doggythedog allready said, definitely the dullest schwarzbier that I’ve had in a while.

Bottle, 4.3% (the Slovenian importers label said 4.8% heh), 9.8° that ogivlado brought from Slovenia and shared with me (thanks!) After hearing it was the highest rated of all the beers we’ve had today bar Forstner Maibock and after seeing the lovely red-brown, almost black body with a greyish brown head in the glass we had somewhat big expectations from this beer. Unfortunately, this never lived up to them. The nose is extremely weak, grainy, with some very light coffee. The taste is even weaker if that’s possible. Water, some dried figs but mostly dry grain, some popcorn, dull and extremely light, definitely the dullest schwarzbier that I’ve had in a while. I was a bit disappointed that they don’t import it here but now I’m glad they don’t. Boo for Krombacher.

Dark brown color with a medium bubbly beige head. Toasty/roasty aroma. Sweet roasted flavor with some malt, coffee with milk, light chocolate hints and a bit of dark bread. Medium-bodied. Pretty tasty and drinkable.

Bottled (BB 06/2008). Coca Cola outlook, dark brown with small mostly vanishing tan head. Toasted malty, sweetish caramelly-lactose aroma. Fizzy carbonation. Roasted and caramel malty with some coffee/chocolate notes. Caramel and some hops in the aftertaste. Decent body for 4.3% beer.

0.5L bottle, almost no head and what does manage to form, dissapears in a flash. Clear dark brown with ruby red taints. Light roasted malt aroma, flavours of roasted coffee and some bitter chocolate, quite dry. Short coffee aftertase, extremely smooth but just a touch watery. Overall feels a little muted.

50 cL bottle, courtesy of Papsoe. Pours dark brown with a small redish glare and a diminished tan head. Mild roasted and butterish aroma. Light bodied. Smooth roasted and towards dark breadish flavoured with dry bitterness showing through. Ends breadish and roasted malty. Nice and easy.
