I don't love this one. Comes off a little tinny and metallic. Some light pickle but just a hint. Pours clear golden with pretty good head. Some straw. Can from Costco calendar.

"Neuzeller Kloster-Bräu Schwarzer Abt", ein "Schwarzbier" mit Invertzuckersirup, Flasche von Edeka, Berlin, 4.7.2025. - Undurchsichtiges Schwarzbraun, reichlich dunkler Schaum. - In der Nase angenehme wenngleich milde Röstaromen, Mokka und Schwarzbrot, leicht flaues Dunkelmalz und arg milde Hintergrundhopfung. - Antrunk flau und süß röstmalzig: der Zuckersirup ist zwar nicht direkt unangenehm, blockiert aber deutlichere Röstaromen; auch die matte krautige Hopfung reißt da nichts mehr; immerhin rundet dezente kirschig-dunkle Frucht die süße Brühe einigermaßen gekonnt ab. Milder rezent, vollmundig. Im Abgang arg mild. - Für ein Bier mit Zucker ziemlich rund und noch trinkbar; aber trinkt man zum Vergleich auch nur einen Schluck echtes Schwarzbier (ohne Zucker), so wirkt das Neuzeller fast ungenießbar.

Bottle at tasting.
Poured pitch black in color, off white head.
Spot on. Excellent Schwartzbier. Chocolate malts, toasted malts, balancing dryness, has a long finish.
