330ml bottle from K-Citymarket Sello, Espoo. BBE 08/05/17. Pours dark brown with a thick foamy head. Aroma of roasty malts, hints of earthiness, toffee, coffee, chocolate and grainy notes. Taste is smooth, watery and slightly roasty with hints of earthiness, musty grainy notes and cold coffee. Finish is slightly ashy and roasty with hints of watery notes, earthiness and cold coffee. Decent.
Bottle pour with almost no head. Darker than a black steers tuckus on a moonless night. Nice coffee flavor that lingers just a bit too long. Smells faintly of locker room socks.
0.355l bottle @ Barleycorn. More or less deep dark cola colored with a small filmy sidesticking top. Smells a little roasty, dry. Dark dry caramelly. Some cardboard. Tates nice. Dark roasty slightly charred flavors. It has a thin oily texture in the mouth and it’s just below average on the carbonation. Caramel and roasted grains. Easy and tasty enough. 16.06.2017
At World of Beer Canton. Aroma is roasted malt, nutty, robust, slight cocoa, slight coffee, good. Appearance is dark brown, light tan head, clear. Taste is cocoa, roasted malt, coffee, malty and great. Mouthfeel is light to medium body, light carbonation, roasted malt cocoa aftertaste. Overall, excellent for the style.
Dark brown color with a taller, lasting tan head. Aromas of dark roasted malt/black malt. Hints of dark cocoa, vanilla and peat. Not a powerful scent, one needs to search for a things. Fairly lifeless feel. Flavors of dark chocolate, dark roasted malts and some burnt sugar. Finish and linger are fairly dry. 2/12
Solid schwarzbier from Uinta, offering up a surprising depth of rich, roasty malt flavor for such a low-ABV brew. Modest mocha notes combine with a deep smoky undercurrent, leading to a stout-leaning back end with hints of raisin and anise. Finishes dry with a mild bitterness. Texture’s good if a bit slight, and the nose is on point, full of rich espresso and smoke.
Bottled 355ml (BB 05/2017, K-Supermarket Isolinna)
Dark brown color, medium-sized beige head. Aroma has light aromatic hops, bread and caramel with light tartness and cooked vegetables. LIght-bodied. Bready, light acidic tartness, vegetables. Gone bad.
Pours with a lot of bubbly light brown foam. Color is black. Inviting aroma has hot chocolate, cappuccino, lemon candy, licorice. Palate is light and fairly balanced with airy carbonation. Taste has sour fruity notes, sour beer -like notes, a hint of pink grapefruit, lemon soda, some bitterness from hops. Very refreshing. A surprising lager that doesn’t taste like lagers I’ve had before. It’s more like an IPA mixed with brown ale mixed with sour/fruit beer. Definite "will buy again".
Pour is a black with some brown highlights around the edges. Aroma is a nice roasted malt with chocolate notes. Flavor is a little thin bodied but there is a nice roasted malt with some ashy dryness after the swallow. A little thin all around but probably the most flavorful 4% I’ve had.
12 oz bottle pours black not much aroma taste was slight coffee but not much else very watery.
Bottle. Pours black with small tan head. Aroma and taste have coffee, chocolate and roasted malt. Sweet and somehow bitter too. Pretty good.
Bottle@O’Hara’s, Tampere, Finland. Bitter, though slightly sweet aroma with berries and some coffee. Dark mahogny color with small light beige head and clear liquid. Medium, averagely balanced taste with lightly roasted malts, some butter cookies, dark chocolate. Narrow/medium taste spectrum and medium aftertaste with slightly bitter malts. Light/medium body with medium carbonation. Overall, quite tasty for percentage, especially the buttery flavor.
Bottle. Bottled July 2012; BBE undated; Drank Dec 2012 - Opaque Black in colour. Malty; roast malts, dark chocolate, coffee, caramel and smoke, hint of nuts. Hoppy; lightly bitter earthy hops. Bittersweet roast malty throughout. Dry roast finish. Very drinkable. Decent. (2012-12-28)
Black color with small foamy head.
Aroma has roasted malts.
Flavor is roasted and sweet with dried fruit
Little bland.
Bottle. Black in color with a tan head. Roasted malts, dark chocolate and slightly burnt bready notes in aroma. Quite dry mouthfeel. Dark bready maltyness, some sweetness and chocolatey notes in taste. Soft and smooth with nice, slightly burnt flavors in the end.
Pours black, big brown head. Aromantic of toast, toffee, dark fruit. Taste has an interesting bitterness over the sweet malt and a dark fruitiness, some coffee. Mouthful is light.
355ml bottle (Pien, Helsinki)
Pleasant sweetish roasty aroma, a bit of burnt toast, but saying more dunkel than schwarz. Dar red, brief tan head. Thinnish palate, some burnt dryness. Some lactic aspect, also some hop pungency, but these things are fleet, and non-reproduceable. Bit messy. Dullish cerne, I’d prefer almost any czech one, but certainly drinkable. (And now I imagine Beer House Dunkles, from just round the corner, which nukes even the czech ones off the map.)
355ml bottle (thanks FatPhil). Very dark brown, chestnut color. Medium size, beige-brownish head, stays. Nutty, sweet, roast, caramel, bit buttery in aroma. Roast, old wet carpet, nutty, husky, grainy in taste. Sharp, large bubble type of carbonation. Nutty, barley roast in aftertaste. Oily / buttery mouthfeel. Solid brew.
Can from my old buddy Brian. Pours a super dark cola color with a tan head. The smell is roasted dark malt, some molasses, coffee. The taste is as it smells with some dark fruit lingering as well then a dry roasty ending. The body is light with about average carbonation. Pretty decent overall and at 4% it’s a sessionable.
Not a big fan of dark beers. But this one was very drinkable. Lots of malty sweetness smooth easy drinking. Would recommend.
12 oz. can. Pour was black with a off white head. Aroma was sweet coffee, roasted malts. Taste was sweeter, fresh coffee, chocolate, malty, roasted grain.
Poured from a 12 OZ bottle into a pint glass at the Taco Mac in Atlanta, GA. The appearance is a pitch black color with a medium sized tan head. The aroma is chocolate and coffee. The taste matches the nose. An excellent beer.
Black color. Medium-sized , beige head. Aroma of roasted malt and bread. Roasted malt dominate in taste . Moderate sweetness with some smoky notes. Roasted bitterness at the end. Very good.
Excellent. Dark pour effemeral tan head, slightly sour aroma but not taste. Palate is light/lagerish, flavor nice hint of nut+earth. Excellent beer
Pour was brown black, no head or lacing. Aroma of roasted malts, some chocolate and nuts. Flavor much the same, diluted, old milk chocolate and stale nuts. Mouthfeel was thin and undercarbonated. A miserable schwarzbier.
This was poured into a pilsener glass.
The appearance was a dark brown almost black color with a thin white to off white foamy head that dissipated within a nice minute. Thin filmy to almost bubbly lacing glosses around the glass nicely.
The aroma has some grainy breadiness riding into a sly malted spice underneath, I want to say black pepper, but somehow, that even seems like a stretch, somewhat. I want to say it comes off a lil’ bit like freshly baked bread.
The flavor is grainy sweet with that spice coming back to make an effort to balance. Sly use of the bread flowing into the aftertaste and then into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium. Use of spice displays some harshness, but not overly done.
Overall, schwarzbier or just regular Euro black lager. I’d like to say Euro black lager, ’cause that’s some weird German yeast if that’s what they used. Maybe again, but nothing over the top.
Lots of sharp roast and some light coffee. Hint of raw barley. Black pout with great head and lacing. Light bittet finish. Tap at Black Squirrel.
Can from W&M Mansfield. Pours out a very dark ruby brown color. Lovely frothy tan head. Super roasty aromas and flavor. Almost smoky. Nice chocolate and coffee notes. Body on the thin-to-medium side. Very smooth and drinkable. This is excellent!
Highly sessionable 4% black lager here. Great full roasted malt flavor with light coffee/chocolate notes. A little bit of a spritz w/caramel flavors that emerge to balance sweet with dry character from the hops.
Smells of sweet roasted malts little bit of dark fruit. Rich dark black in color with thick three finger brownish head that slowly dissipates. Rich sweet malt Flavor with huge coffee and sweet milk chocolate coming through as the star of this brew. Full creamy body with a quick carbonation that turns to flat very fast but smooth. Very nice body and flavor one of my favorite schwarzbier thus far in my great exploration to find the world’s best beer. Nice work!
