De Prael Zwarte Riek

I drank this one with people who really liked it, but this beer is just not for me. Too dark and without and really sparkling flavors.

On tap at ’t Arendsnest, ABV 5.4%, and listed as a schwarzbier. Clear dark reddish brown colour, creamy off white head. Aroma of light roasted malts, rye, a bit of spice and liquorice. Flavour is light sweet, roasted malts, laurel, liquorice, light bitter finish, dry mouthfeel. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Good stuff. 738316 Re-rate: some chocolate notes found. Amazing beer. 848416
