The bottle looks simple, but good. The beer in the glass also, nice turbid. Much foam. Tastes mild, a little bit spicy, well balanced finish. Very drinkable and good beer!

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Fine, almost smoky aroma. Tastes malty and a littte bit fruity, finish a little bit too malty, nevertheless a really good schwarzbier!

Bottle. Clear, straw pour with a small, white head. Canned pears, fruityness, grains and a hint of vomit in the rather weak aroma. The flavor was grainy and grassy, added a little fruityness and bitterness. Thin body. Grassy hops and some bitterness in the finish. Boooring! (080229)
