Our Schwarzbier is complex, yet crushable. It features a malt and hop bill made up entirely of German hops and malt with just enough dark malts to give it layers of chocolate and slight roast flavors. It was finished with a generous late kettle addition of German Hallertau noble hops, giving it a wonderful floral finish.

Not really black like most schwartz, its more like darker pale. The photo here is misleading. Nice big foamy head from a pounder can for 3$. Does have a weird farmy dark beer nose, makes my mouth water. Even tho its not a really dark color, it does have a goodly black lager or schwartz attitude on the flavor. Fairly mild with some burnt attitude about itself. Not bad in the middle. Still retaining that schwartz character nicely. Even has pretty good co2 sizzle for a darker beer. Finish does get a little odd, that farmy nose is getting on my nerves and the burnt bitterness really sets in. Probably could only do one of these. This stuff is ok but its got a long way to go to be as good as Anderson El Steinber, Weeping Radish Black Radish, Unita Baba Black Lager or even Crna Kraljica.

Red brown with a huge foamy tan head. Malty, woody, a hint of toffee, a bit of fruit and an astringent note. Medium finish and body.
