330ml bottle from K-Citymarket Sello, Espoo. BBE 08/05/17. Pours dark brown with a thick foamy head. Aroma of roasty malts, hints of earthiness, toffee, coffee, chocolate and grainy notes. Taste is smooth, watery and slightly roasty with hints of earthiness, musty grainy notes and cold coffee. Finish is slightly ashy and roasty with hints of watery notes, earthiness and cold coffee. Decent.

Solid schwarzbier from Uinta, offering up a surprising depth of rich, roasty malt flavor for such a low-ABV brew. Modest mocha notes combine with a deep smoky undercurrent, leading to a stout-leaning back end with hints of raisin and anise. Finishes dry with a mild bitterness. Texture’s good if a bit slight, and the nose is on point, full of rich espresso and smoke.

Pour is a black with some brown highlights around the edges. Aroma is a nice roasted malt with chocolate notes. Flavor is a little thin bodied but there is a nice roasted malt with some ashy dryness after the swallow. A little thin all around but probably the most flavorful 4% I’ve had.

Aiiiight. Black lagers usually have too much malt for me. This one is no different.

This was poured into a pilsener glass.
The appearance was a dark brown almost black color with a thin white to off white foamy head that dissipated within a nice minute. Thin filmy to almost bubbly lacing glosses around the glass nicely.
The aroma has some grainy breadiness riding into a sly malted spice underneath, I want to say black pepper, but somehow, that even seems like a stretch, somewhat. I want to say it comes off a lil’ bit like freshly baked bread.
The flavor is grainy sweet with that spice coming back to make an effort to balance. Sly use of the bread flowing into the aftertaste and then into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium. Use of spice displays some harshness, but not overly done.
Overall, schwarzbier or just regular Euro black lager. I’d like to say Euro black lager, ’cause that’s some weird German yeast if that’s what they used. Maybe again, but nothing over the top.

Lots of sharp roast and some light coffee. Hint of raw barley. Black pout with great head and lacing. Light bittet finish. Tap at Black Squirrel.

Bottle thanks to Will. Pours a cloudy brown with beige head. Aroma is roast, raisin and caramel. Light roast nuttiness and sweet finish. Good.
