This traditional lager is medium in body with a deep roasted character. Its dark color and rich malty flavor come from specially roasted caramel and chocolate malts. This brew is lightly hopped with Noble Bavarian hops for a soft spiciness and a smooth clean finish. Cheers!

[35.5cl bottle] Dark ruby colour with a thick and lasting beige foamy head. Roast-malty aroma with a rather complex spectrum of notes of caramel, cacao, coffee and hints of licorice, even subtle berry-fruity notes are detectable. Bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied with an almost creamy mf. Roasty malty taste with predominant notes of mocha and licorice. Moderately dry, burnt bitter and quite lasting finish with a rounded malty sweetness. A well-made Schwarzbier from the US [11.XII.08].

12 oz bottle purchased as part of a mix a six at Lukas Liquors in Overland Park, Kansas. Pour is ruby accented deep brown black with a nice tan two inch head. Falls with popping carbonation bubbles and hardly any lacing. Aroma of smoky maltiness, rounded sweetness. Taste is the roasted malt initially, with some dark chocolate and milkiness right behind that. A touch of tobacco in the longer finish. Palate is thin, its drinkable for certain, but perhaps somewhat watery. Overall a decent beer.

355 ml bottle. Dark brown, close to black body with a big creamy beige head. Aroma is slightly roasted malt, coffee and mocha. Flavor is light roasted malt, coffee and a hit of caramel. Medium body, and that’s probably perfect for a Schwarzbier. Refreshing, tasty, balanced and incredible quaffable.

Very dark brown with nice chestnut highlights. Killer head that’s both creamy and rocky. Earthy, caramelly, lightly chocolatey aroma. Toasty, chocolatey palate is smooth and sweetish. Almost sticky in the finish.
