Al naso l'aroma rimanda a caffè, cioccolato e marron glacé. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il mantello birroso superiore resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il colore è nero come la pece. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è medio in buona armonia con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è persistente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, cioccolato, caffè, liquirizia, frutta secca e agrumi.

0.33 l bottle, thanks to my GF for bringing this over from Switzerland. Pours jet black with thin, persistent beige head. Aroma is comprised of roasted malts, coffee, chocolate and cocoa. Taste is roasted and coffee notes mainly, with some faint fruits. Closes with long lasting bitter coffee finish, has light, somewhat creamy mouthfeel and average carbo. Cool schwarzbier.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a thick black with moderate sized beige head. Aroma of coffee, liquorice, roasted malt, caramel; some sweetness hinted at but suggestions it could be quite rich for a lager. Taste follows aroma, deep and flavourful, not overly rich but not your average sessionable dark lager either. Medium bodied, oily, soft carbonation, drying. I like it.

almost black colour, medium sized, creamy and long lasting brownish-beige head; aroma of intensive cocoa powder and chocolate, toasted rye bread, some roasted sunflower seeds, hints of prune and ash notes; taste of intensive burnt woody-nutty bitterness (over-roasted peanuts and sunflower seeds), burnt plum jam and syrupy sweetness; not bad

Aus der Flasche im 2014-06 getrunken. Dieses Schwarzbier kann gut und gerne als ein ausgewogenes, süffiges Stout durchgehen. Lecker!
