330ml bottle into a pint glass.

Pours a very dark brown with a very thick two finger tan head. Great head retention and lacing. Quite impressive.

The aroma has a nice caramel and toast note along with grassy hops so typical in the style. There is a nice balance between the roast and hops although I wish the toastiness was a little more prominent.

Much less roast in the flavor although there is a healthy dose of caramel. Bread and grassy hops in the background but all of the flavors are quite subtle overall. Just a light bitterness and oily mouthfeel with a bit of sticky in the finish.

Overall. a decent schwarzbier but a little underwhelming. I prefer the original pils.

A- Very dark brown, with red highlights. It has a khaki head with fair retention. Lacing is nice, leaving well defined rings down the sides of the glass.

S- Lighter and fruitier than expected. It shows notes of floral sweetness, raisin, and cocoa.

T- Sweet raisins covered in chocolate, slightly tart in the mid-palate. The finish is dry, with mild roasty notes of black coffee.

M- Light, dry. light carbonation that is very gentle.

O- Very impressed. The body of a lager, with the taste and aroma of something more. Easy drinking, sessionable, and very good.
