Keg at Enid Street. Opaque cola brown. Foamy off-white head. Aroma is sweet with caramel and chocolate. Flava mirrors the aroma with added hints of resinous hops. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish.

Аромат не сильный, даже мягкий для стиля, очень легкий жженый солод, намеки на какао и кофе с шоколадом, но все очень на тоненького. Цвет черный, пенка тонка и кофейная. Вкус тоже очень питкий и мягкий. Снова приятная легкая жженка от солода, кофе и шоколад, но не черный и без кислинки. В послевкусие больше кофе уже. Хороший Шварц.

Can from Cloudwater online shop. Black body with a beige head. Faint lacing. Aroma of Worcestershire sauce and roasted malt. Flavour of woody malt and soy sauce. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. Simple and tasty but lacking the depth of my favourite beers of this style.
