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.

If you’re a Star Wars nerd, you may get the reference to the name of this beer and the artwork associated with it.

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.
