This bottle is coming from Tanta Emmen, Paris. Opening this bottle yesterday after a nice afternoon in the swimming pool at Prilly. For me, it was not a great experience, too sweet, a lot of sugar, toffe, molasses, roasty but hidden by the sweetness, 27.07.22

0,5 l bottle from a Getränke Hoffmann in town. Nearly black in the glass, one finger light beige head. Sweet malty aroma with choco and lactose. Taste is malty with sweetness, soft toasted with some choco in the second part. Metallic hints. Low carbonated. Little bit thin.

"Neuzeller Kloster-Bräu Schwarzer Abt", ein "Schwarzbier" mit Invertzuckersirup, Flasche von Edeka, Berlin, 4.7.2025. - Undurchsichtiges Schwarzbraun, reichlich dunkler Schaum. - In der Nase angenehme wenngleich milde Röstaromen, Mokka und Schwarzbrot, leicht flaues Dunkelmalz und arg milde Hintergrundhopfung. - Antrunk flau und süß röstmalzig: der Zuckersirup ist zwar nicht direkt unangenehm, blockiert aber deutlichere Röstaromen; auch die matte krautige Hopfung reißt da nichts mehr; immerhin rundet dezente kirschig-dunkle Frucht die süße Brühe einigermaßen gekonnt ab. Milder rezent, vollmundig. Im Abgang arg mild. - Für ein Bier mit Zucker ziemlich rund und noch trinkbar; aber trinkt man zum Vergleich auch nur einen Schluck echtes Schwarzbier (ohne Zucker), so wirkt das Neuzeller fast ungenießbar.

Dark pour and a fine tan head.
Ok intensity in the aroma.
To sweet and a mellow carbonation level.
Dark malt and sugary flavor

Pours a very dark brown to black, medium sized, white head. Scent is roasty, dark bread, bit burnt even. Taste is surprisingly sweet, dark sugar, reminding of Belgian dark 'tablebeer' more than what I expect from a schwarzbier... Bit of a let down if i'm honest... way to sweet and not at all refined.

Bottle from a friend. Very sweet with an aroma of sugars, cola, syrup, some dark malt, caramel. Awfully sweet sugary flavour, weak watery body. This is like sugar malt water. Bad.

I like it a lot! A bit more satisfying than most Schwarzbier for me, likely due to the sugar used (which caused a huge outcry due to the SIN against the purity law, even in recent times 😆 purists are so square). No pic but it was black, trust me.
