bottle. fizzy carbonation on the pour (probably a bad sign). dark brown with a fizzy tan head. aroma is sweet malts and a touch of roasty chocolate. taste is light caramel malt followed up with a bit of smokiness. a little thin and a bit of an acidic aftertaste. don’t have a lot of schwarzbier experience to compare it to at this point.

I was rather surprised by the appearance and taste of this. Almost black and the taste is very stouty. Fairly bitter and dry and hints of coffe. Plenty of taste for such a low strength.

On draught at Plachetnice Plzen. An almost black colored beer, with a thick foamy beige head. The aroma of caramel and a little bit chocolate, there are malts and fruits. The taste of little coffee, dry and fruits like raisins. It has a light bitter aftertaste.

Tap at Řrsted Řlbar, Copenhagen. Deep brown reddish color, off-white to beige head. There´s not much aroma, but hints of roasted malt and dark fruit. The flavor is roasted malt, caramel sweetness and dried fruit.

From Bottleworks in Seattle, WA--Poured a dark black-brown body with amber hues shining in the light. Small soft tan head. Bold nose of coffee, nutty chalkiness, and chocolate. Crisp, clean mildly roasty malty, nutty. Delicious. Carbonic mouthfeel. Sugary yet mild finish.
