50cl can: This has a pretty subtantial tan head that dies down quickly. It is a brown beer that has a bit of a haze to it. The aroma is somewhat sweet, with notes of chocolate. Somewhat bready. The taste is also a bit sweet, with some notes of hops in there. A lighter body. Not a bad beer, but not a really good schwarzbier.

500ml can

near-black, almost stout-like, with decent tan head, but that quickly fades to nothing but a thin ring. no lacing.

aroma has some cola and coffee notes, hint of maybe molasses, but not much else.

taste is somewhat bland, to be honest. some dark bread, some moderate hop bitterness. maybe something grassy, but hard to pick out, and not much other character to the hop profile either. an acidity creeps in, which seems a little off, esp. since it slightly lingers even in the finish.

not too thin, but not exactly smooth either. prickly carbonation.

meh...

2.88/5  rDev +0.7%
look: 3.5 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 3

Appearance: Deep brown-to-black color. Poured with a nice two-finger head which died to a tan cap in about a minute. Left a little lacing down the glass.

Smell: Bready, sweet. Just a little mustiness.

Taste: A little sweet, dark bread and a touch of roast malt. Not much hoppyiness to speak of.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, with just a little carbonation. Finished sweet. Not very complex.

Overall: Easy to drink, but unexciting. Maybe I was expecting more of a Rauchbier character. I'd have it again, but there are many others I'd rather have.

Pours dark brown beer with not very dense tan head, dissipating rapidly, leaving some scanty laces. Weak caramel aroma and watery taste of roasted malts. Rather sweet and too simple. Soft carbonation, light-body and commonly disappointing impression.

Black color, with reddish edges. Quite scarce foam, quickly falling down.
In the smell a strongly caramel maltiness, with fruity notes. Red, sugary fruitiness.
Definiltely strong sugary taste, with some burnt malt in the back. Too sweet.
Sweet in the aftertaste too, not so drinkable.
Useless.
