500ml bottle. Quasi black colour with very weak, ruby shimmer and minimally late awakening, average to huge, frothy, moderately lasting and lacing, beige head. Roasty, minimally chocolately, dark malty aroma, hints of pumpernickel. Taste is slightly roasty and minimally grainy, dark malty, sweet-ish, caramel malty and mildly bitter hoppy, hints of pumpernickel, some chocolate, caramel, a touch of treacle, minimally metallic overtones; weak roasty bitterness, mild hop bitterness. Dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, minimally dry and repellent palate, medium, dense, mildly prickly carbonation. Balanced and surprisingly quaffable - pretty decent.

Vielanker Schwarz, Flasche von Getränkeland, Rostock. - Fast schwarz, mit üppigem dunklen Schaum - hier paßt der Name zur Erscheinung. - In der Nase milde, beinahe blasse Röstaromen, staubig-trockenes Karamel, sehr dezente Hintergrundhopfung. - Antrunk satt und füllig röstmalzig mit Mokka, Brotkruste und Bitterschokolade, dezenter dunkler und Zitrusfrucht und leiser aber doch spürbarer Karamelsüße. Milder rezent, vollmundig, kremig weich (da ungefiltert). Im leicht trockenen Abgang solide Röstmalzbittere und feine herbale Hopfung. - Das nenne ich mal ein kerniges Schwarzbier, satt röstmalzig und mit Tiefgang, nicht so fade und dünn wie die bekannten Supermarktbiere. Eine echte Perle aus MeckPomm! (20.4.2024.)
