Poured from a 16 oz can dated April 10, 2020. Aroma is malt forward with toasted bread and crackers with lighter caramel, toffee, roast and chocolate notes. Medium light woody, herbal hop note with a light peppery, spicy note to it. Pours black with dark brown hues on the edges and a large, thick, fluffy, tan head that exhibits nice retention as it slowly recedes to a small, creamy film that lingers on the edges. Fairly high amount of lacing and no legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with moderately strong malt notes of toasted bread, cracker, caramel and roast. Lighter notes of chocolate and ash. Moderately strong bitterness that lingers into the finish. Light woody, herbal hop notes with a light peppery, spice note. Mouthfeel is light bodied and crisp with a bit of a dry finish and moderate carbonation. Low, but present astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright schwarzbier but having it side by side with Death and Taxes shows its not quite top tier (Sorry SARA, I still love you and I hope SARA still loves me). Kind of a weird note mid-palate when the hops and bitterness blends with the roasted malt notes.
