Roast and a little coffee. Pours dark brown near black with pretty good head. Light bitter end. Good schwarzbier. Bottle from mixed 12 pack.

From a bottle. Looks like root beer. Nice smooth old campfire wood nose. Easy on the taste buds, seem quite civilized. A little burnt wood bitter in there. Decent co2 thru the session. Not bad, but needs a few manners to be as good as the real old country dark lagers.
