Das ist unser Kaffee. Für jede Tageszeit.

Einen Kaffee in Ehren darf niemand verwehren. So zumindest sehen wir das bei unserem unfiltrierten Black Lager – Schwarzbier. Ein erfrischend trockener Cold Brew, der die Sinne anregt. Die Farbe: dunkelbraun. Wirklich dunkel. Mit leicht rötlichem Schimmer. In der Nase finden sich dunkle Röstaromen, gebranntes Malz und herber Kaffee.

Der Antrunk bringt Aromen von goldenem Heu, gebranntem Malz und eine milde Feuernote auf die Zunge. Langsam mischen sich herbe Kaffeenoten und feine Kakaoaromen harmonisch unter. Die zurückhaltende Süße macht unser Black Lager erfrischend und trocken. Am Gaumen übernimmt bestimmt aber dezent dunkler Kakao und lässt einen Hauch zartbittere Schokolade zurück. Nicht zu süß und mit einer kleinen Zitrusnote.

Cremig malziger Beginn mit weicher Röstigkeit. Nuancen von Kokos, deutliche Herbe, geringe Bitterkeit. Ansteigend malzig, würzig, komplex. Langer herb-röstiger Abgang.

330ml bottle. Clear, faint, chestnut colour with ruby glimmer and small, creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Weak, roasty, chocolately, dark malty aroma. Taste is dry, slightly bitter, roasty, dark malty aroma, hints of dark chocolate, a minimally metallic touch; minimally watery passages. So-so.

(bottle, 33cl) Dark brown colour with a ruby shine and a big but quickly collapsing tanned foamy head. Roasted malty aroma with notes of coffee, molasses, subtle hints of raisins and a leathery touch. Roasty bitter and delicately sweet flavour, rather light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Roast-malty base with coffee and burnt notes, reminding me of ashtrays, especially towards the finish. Not bad, although somewhat rough. 28.VIII.18

Bottle: Clear, ruby-amber coloured, small - slowly collapsing - off-white head, dryish toasty-malty nose, some dried fruits, some peat underneath; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; lingering toasty-peaty finish with an increasing bitterness towards the very end. Not the real stuff for the average Sauerland Pils-Trinker, but nevertheless a good one...

0.33 l bottle from 'TOP Getränke' (Letmathe), best before February 2018. Clear, very dark ruby to black with a medium large, frothy, stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly roasty aroma of cocoa, toasted nuts and caramel. Quite sweet, just slightly bitter, malty and slightly roasty taste of cocoa, coffee, toasted nuts and caramel, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly roasty and a little earthy finish with some metallic notes. Medium body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Quite nice actually, way more pleasant than the other two ones I tried some months ago. Unfortunately, it has that annoying, metallic finish as well, even if it is less disturbing.

Many thanks for this beer to Koelschtrinker. Pours a deep brown color with a light brown head. Coffee and chocolate. Decent, but nothing special.
