Schwarzbier means "black beer" in German. Though never truly black, this very dark brown lager is known for having the roasty character of a stout, but the drinkability of a light lager. It is sometimes called a "black Pils". This style is the inspiration behind the black lagers of Japan.…

Sample 3/4 at Red Rock Brewing Co., Salt Lake City. Pours cloudy dark brown with a lasting, foamy, off-white head. The aroma contains roasted malt, caramel, toasted bread, hops, herbs and nuts. It tastes light sweet and medium hoppy bitter with a long toasty finish. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Good, yes, but could have been so much better with a stronger palate... and more alcohol.

Tap. Pours clear mahogany, medium beige head, creamy with nice lacing. Aroma of roasty malt, hints of leather, espresso. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter, pretty subdued but pleasant. Light plus body.

GABF 2013. Pours a deep brownish black appearance with a light brown head. A bit burnt/smoky, roasty malty, chocolate, light coffee, herbal hoppy aroma. Burnt bready, light coffee, chocolate flavor. Reminds me of how much I can enjoy Schwarzbier, though this wasn’t world class by any means.
