A truly drinkable German dark lager. Loads of malt complexity - fresh baked rye bread, baker's chocolate, and a hint of coffee, but still light and crisp. Named for the 700 year old hiking trail in Germany.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear brown with a somewhat transient tan head. Aroma is mostly chocolate but there's a Tmavy note. Med body. Malty but fairly dry. Moderately bitter. Flavor matches the aroma. Good schwarz.

16oz can from HalfTime. Near black pour, creamy beige head. Light roasty aroma, burnt toast. Taste is roasty, sweet, toast, frying towards the finish, and a little bit mouth coating. But excellent...

On tap at Old Town Pub in Bordentown, NJ. Barely translucent dark brown pour. Small tan head. Subtle roasted malt aroma hints at dark chocolate. Flavor is dark and malty. Notes of chocolate, black currants, caramel and piney hops. Remarkably smooth and flavorful. Another winner from the crew at Schilling!

Can, from Beer Boutique, Brooklyn. Clear dark brown with copper-red highlights, foamy beige head that dissipated rather fast leaving nice lacing behind, roasted malt aroma, high carbonation, medium bitter roasted malt-caramel taste, toffee, thin smooth body, long medium bitter caramel finish. Very smooth and satisfactory!

16 oz. can. Aroma is mild coffee, roast, chocolate. . Flavor is spot on the German style, mild coffee, roast, ash, and a elevated chocolate new wants throughout the sip. Ends with a moderate roast and chocolate. Quite good.

16oz can pour at the April DC Ratebeer tasting. Poured a dark golden brown color with a small, white head. Aroma was light toasted malts, mild chocolate. Flavor was chocolate malts, roasted. Light grassy notes. Rich, but also crisp and light.
