16 oz. can, sent my Church Street for comment. This pours almost solid black, with a stiff, parfait-like head. Smell has a little more roast than other schwarzes I've had. By the time I start writing about this, the foam has dwindled to the same scrum of suds as on many 5% lager beers. The taste is roastier, too. Still dry enough to count as a lager instead of a stout. It finishes off like a mild coffee, with a soda pop effervescence. Not too filling, it still lands like a regular beer.
