UPDATED: JUN 14, 2008 as Einbecker Schwarzbier, on tap, 2008
Dark brown. Fresh grainy nose. Lightly toasty aroma. Full malty goodness with some light toastiness. Light tasting but the body is moderate and the character mellow with clean Germanic flavours.

as Einbecker Dunkel, 2001
Chestnut colour; chewy, molasses nose with notes of marzipan and slightly burnt cherry; lightish body but it is filling in its maltiness - slightly syrupy, hints of molasses, icing sugar, walnuts; finishes limp and watery. 6 2 6 2 12 = 2.8

Bottle as Schwarzbier from Vintage Cellar. Deep reddish copper color with a frothy beige head. Aromas of black toasted breadiness. Near medium body with mild carbonation. Heavy roast malt flavor with some burnt aspects. It’s very like a "sweetish schwartzbier". Quite decent lager. More refreshing than many dunkels.
