This imperial Schwarzbier is an extreme version of traditional German black lagers. Velvety smooth, rich, and intense, it’s brewed with traditional lager yeast and cold-fermented for three whole months.

This beer combines the drinkability of a lager with the depth and intensity of an imperial stout. It features deep, dark, and robust notes of roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee, with a long and complex aftertaste. Despite its richness, it maintains a crisp, refreshing quality, making it an ideal winter fusion of lager finesse and stout-like character.

Can courtesy of Kostas Kykao brewery and consumed sat outside Frank at Auto Camp Sani , Brodarica, Croatia, Tuesday 9th September 2025 after a long walk around the maze of alleyways and streets of Šibenika earlier and a lovely seafood lunch at Bistro Luce & Brigita. Pours black with a beige coloured head, thick mouthfeel, roasty with coffee and a little nutty edge. This is a big, big beer, a little bit sticky, some dark treacle touches but all told surprisingly drinkable despite it being practically Imperial Stout territory. However despite being a good beer a 450ml can is hard to drink alone 🤣.
