Bottle from Cotteridge Wines and drunk at home. Black beer, lasting beige head. Aroma of dark fruits like raisins and currants. Touch of hop on the aroma too. I mean it’s more like a modern hoppy dark lager than a schwarzbier. In fact it tastes like a hoppy stout. I don’’t know about the lager bit. Very bitter and hoppy on the finish. No idea why this is classed as a premium lager. Mind you I have no idea what style it is. Dark chocolate flavour is good.
