The Bar Mates series is a line of beers made in collaboration with some of our favorite bars in the Netherlands. With these beers we thank them for supporting the craft beer community.

In this edition we treamed up with Amsterdam's Bier-Proeflokaal In De Wildeman. Together we have created a lightly smoked Schwartsbier with a crisp finish and earthy notes from German Noble Hops.

For every case we sell we donate proceeds to De Wildeman to show our support during the COVID-19 crisis.

Can at home. Deeper brown pour with a tan head. Nose and taste are caramel, toasted malts, lots of molasses. Barely any roasted notes and virtually no smoke. It’s also lacking in depth, the body is light, with a soft carbonation. Not really what it promises to be.

Can. Color: Murky reddish brown, dense mocha head. Aroma: Malty, dark and some roasted malt, caramel. Taste: Dark and roasted malt, smooth, bit creamy, some floral and slightly citrus hop in the background. Quite subtle smoke. Caramel and subtle licorice notes. Just under medium, pretty thin mouthfeel, just under average carbonation. Ok.
