This German style “schwarzbier” (black lager) features hints of chocolate or coffee flavor, low hop bitterness and a dry finish. Perfect with sausage and onions or a mushroom and goat cheese toast.

16oz can from my brother. Dark brown, opaque pour, lasting off-white head. Light roasty aroma with notes of chocolate. Taste is roasty, chocolate, coffee-ish, sweet, cola and a smidge of bitterness.

Can from Tavour. Pours very dark brown with a large creamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate and charred malt. Med body. Creamy mouthfeel. It's malty but that's balanced by bitterness. Strong burnt malt and a good dose of chocolate for flavor. Nice Schwarz.

Draught @ The Half Pint, Manhattan (6/20/23). Clear dark brown with ruby red highlights against the light, small foamy dark beige head that flops fast, caramel-roasted malt aroma, medium carbonation, initially sweet caramel taste turns into bitter roasted malt taste, thin smooth body, long finish. Smooth and tasty.
