Indulge in the allure of this inky black lager brewed in the style of a traditional schwarzbier. Don’t let the darkness deceive you, as this beer drinks surprisingly light with pleasant notes of chocolate and coffee. When you drink Dark As Hell, you will see the light.

Pours mahogany-tinged black into a willi. Tan micro head with good retention recedes to coat surface. Toasted pumpernickel and raisin brown bread aromas. Soft with dried chocolate-covered pit fruit, toasted brown bread and clove upfront turning to earthy burnt pumpernickel in the dry, lasting finish.

Brewery draught, 12/29/23. Clear, dark amber. Large, dark beige head. Nutty cacao-like notes with toast and light roast. Good honey-like base. Clean, very chocolatey, malt, well-attenuated. Dries nicely with roasty-toasty malts and a clean, crisp finish. Not over-specialty malted. Very drinkable and balanced.

Dark brown I wouldn’t say inky black. At brewhouse. Foamy head. Nose is coffee mostly. Tatses of coffee, light chocolate, some pine trees, copper pennies, fruit. Medium light bodied
