The secret of Schwarzbier Style Lagers is that looks can be deceiving. This Black Lager Beer features German malts and hops that provide a subtle roast character and an intimidating appearance, but in reality this beer finishes as smooth as a fine grained whetstone.

Pounder can for 2$. Pour is very dark brown but not black. Nice foamy rootbeer looking head. Very fresh nose of good lager, no roasty olfactory. Friendly dark beer roasted flavor, a little less than a Schwartz, but more than a typical dark lager. Quite enjoyable, civility is rambunctious around the edges compared to many black lagers or shwartz, but a diamond in the rough. Basic bekky personality and certainly not a cookie cutter. Probably a good dark beer for a pale lager lover looking to try something darker. Reminds me a bit of Iron City Dark from the 1980s, and that's a good thing! Glad I didn't pass this one up. For 2 bucks, its a bargain!

Very dark brown with orange highlights and a large creamy tan head that left good lacing. Roasty, dry and woody with light notes of cola and coffee. Long finish. Medium body.
