Opaque black beer, little pale tan head. Palate is a little crisp and quite dry. Minerals. Dry dark malt, a little roast, but not bitter. Tiny bit of citrus in the minerally semi dry and crisp finish. Not bad and I think my first Black Pils!

Bottled as "Black friday black pilsner", from Beermerchants.com. Pours almost pitch black with a moderate sized creamy tanned head. Aroma of light roasted malts, liquorice and chocolate. Taste is light sweet caramel, medium bodied with a light roasted end. Refreshing, nothing extreme, just good.

Average to indifferent Schwarzbier, not particularly inspiring in any direction.

A 0.33l bottle (on a Thursday) - from beermerchants.com that pours a dark brown licorice-body that’s impossible to see light through, and it has a really good looking big and lasting beige almost creamy and lacing head. It smells light malty with tones of roasted malts and licorice. Not extreme in any way, but it’s something calming and quite relaxing about this aroma. Hard to describe properly, but I quite like it. There is also a touch of hops in the background here. It has a comfortable average small prickling carbonation level with a somewhat thin and almost watery texture. Flavors has that same gentle and calming thing found in the aroma. Light roasted with some watered down licorice and a mild hoppy sting. This was actually quite tasty here in the steaming May sun that has taken every Bergensere by surprise. Skål i sola Ola! 24.05.2012

bottle, beermerchants.com, as Black Friday. A heavy licquorice aroma, which is equally strong, and sweet, on the palate. Not as much smokiness as I expected and quite a grassy, fruity finish. Cherry and raspberry flavours are faint but noticeable. Pretty good.
