Dark brown, scant creamy head. Mostly sweet caramel in the flavour, with a faint burnt quality, dry finish.

Pours a dark ruby brown with a thin frothy tan head. The aroma shows cereal grain, sweet maltiness, . The flavor is kind of a turn off. There is an old feel to it, definitely malty and bready. Some banana.

Grain, molasses, and tea aroma with a tinniness. Clear and thin looking mahogany, with a thin head. Watery mouthfeel and very tinny. Pretty nice charred oak and malt flavor Weak lettuce finish. One could easily drink a lot of these without any ill effects.

Translucent, dark brown color, fluffy off-white head. Lots of malt in the nose. This beer is very sweet and smooth. So sweet and smooth, in fact, that it’s a bit cloying. Drinkable, but not a fridge staple.

Einbecker Schwarzbier. Carbonated beer without much to distinguish the flavor. Very light malty accents.

Dark red-brown colored, little brown head. Strongly bready aroma with mild roastiness and some sweet nutty chocolate, nice aroma. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor also starts with sweet nuts, ending turns to watery with some drying touch. Not very balanced. Round aftertaste which only dries, nothing else there.

Bottle. Two finger beige thick and light creamy head that mostly lasted. Fair display of lacework. Sparkling body with a light mahogany like color. Aroma of lovely toasted bread, strong underlying caramel feel. Nice cookie like and nutty notes as well. Over the palate some roasted malty bitterness comes to live. Medium bodied with a hint of dry texture and a soft carbonation. Balanced bitter malty roasted flavor with good counter sweet bread like sweetness. Toasted malty lingering finish. Quit nice I thought!

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a deep amber hue, clear, and a huge light brown head. Sweet almost honey like aroma with an underlying grainy note. Slight roasted malt flavour a bit like dark bread is the first flavour, followed by a short bit of sweetness before a slight citric and then bitter flavour kicks in. The bread flavour is persistent throughout with a slight mouldy touch. Decent but somewhat too simple.
