(draught at the brewpub) No Bock this winter by Borbecker Dampfbierbrauerei. Clear, dark brown colour with a beautiful and moderately persistent foamy off-white head. Quite shy and slightly sweet roast-malty aroma with light notes of caramel and herbal hops. Moderately bitter flavour, roasted malt, caramel on a herbal background.; dry and medium-bitter finish. Unspectacular but balanced Schwarzbier, which reminds me of the Fastenbier from Essen-Borbeck (12.12.06).
