Schönes mild-trockenes Schwarzbier. Sehr trockene Aromen mit leichtem Röstmalz, leicht süßlich-frisch, leider nicht zu tief. Schöne leichte Lakritze im Nachgeschmack, trocken malzig, süffig mit einem leichten Hauch Restsüße. Aber nicht zu intensiv alle Aromen. Auf der Zunge bleibt eine nett röstig-lakritzig-trockene Note mit einem Hauch malziger Süße. Nett.
PS: This is the first beer, which I had to downgrade in "appearance" and "overall" after reading the backside-label. The brewery promotes its beer by saying that they use selected hops and special malts to brew this unique beer. But the ingredients say: ... Hopfenextrakt and Röstmalzbier. So using only cheaper hop-extract and the even more convenient "Röstmalzbier" (a "beer" brewed by a large factory using only roasted malt to sell it to breweries that don’t use special malts for their own brews but want to sell a f.ex. Schwarzbier) but promoting it differently is in my eyes cheating on customers. Ok - they could read the ingredients, but brewing a good Schwarzbier is for me not brewing a Helles or Pils and mixing it with convenient "Röstmalzbier".

Found in Leipzig at Fristo as 70er Pils. Würzig-malziges Bier. Sehr trocken, aber auch nicht sehr herb. Süffiges Bier mit leicht getreidigen Zügen. Eine ganz leichte, etwas neutrale Herbe bleibt mit der Getreidigkeit auf der Zunge zurück. Interessant, aber könnte herber sein.
