Bottle. Yellow with some white head. Grain aroma. Light body and lively carbonation. Flavour is grain with some sweetness, maybe a slightly fruity taste and a little metallic bitterness in the finish. Overall it’s refreshing and reasonably drinkable, but far from exceptional.

Can, shared by Gr0ve. Pours a clear ruby body, with a huge, creamy beige head. Quite weak on the aroma, mostly roasted, with some butterscotch. Rather weak flavor too, roasted, with caramel and notes of butterscotch. Rather thin in the mouth, even for a schwarzbier, but not watery. A boring beer I think, but easy to drink. (080216)

[i] Bottle picked this up at Waitrose, Witney 20-01-08 [/i] Pour’s very dark brown with some noticeable ruby glints. Very smooth tasting little bit nutty even and a pleasant soft mouthfeel, enjoyable.

Light yellow body with a small white head. Lots of grainy cereal in the aroma. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet and very lightly bitter. Slightly dry finish. Light to medium body and water texture. Lively carbonation. Crisp enough to make it drinkable, but overall fairly boring.
