Jever Dark

Formerly brewed at Jever (Oetker Group)
Style: Schwarzbier
Jever, Germany

Serve in Dimpled mug, Lager glass, Stein

Bottle: Brownish coloured with a small off-white head, dark malt, burnt malt and a bit of coffee in the nose; dryish, moderate bitter-sweet flavour, a bit sticky, light bodied; bitter malty finish with a touch of burnt malt and coffee. Not really good...................

Bottle from the now closed Pitfield beer shop. Mahogany with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of preserved fruit with a hint of roasted notes. Flavour was sweet with a metallic finish. My least favourite Schwarzbier.

A very bad idea. The bottle is nice, but the head disappears fast, and it tastes slightly like water ran through a camp fire. I prefer the Jever Lime before this one...

Bottle. Quite malty aroma, a little bit sweet. The colour of the body is nearly black with a little bit of red. The taste is bitter, at least it is more bitter than the taste of most of the other Schwarzbiere if tasted so far (it’s a Jever, so that’s not to much of a surprise). The duration is long, bitter and nice. A good one like the normal pilsener.

Heavy malty aroma. Large frothy off-white initial apperance. Good lacing head. Mostly diminishing longevity. Clear amber body. Light bitter initial flavor. Medium palate.

Bottle. Dark red (mahogany), fizzy egg white head that disappears quickly. Aroma has some roasted malts and a metallic fruity edge. Spritzy mouthfeel. Lots of roasted malts. Not very balanced - very dry from the roasted malts.

[Tasted in 2003.] At the time of drinking this beer I didn’t know anything of schwarzbier and thought that it was a dunkel or something alike. I was really dissapointed, I remember, of this below "average-beer", but I’ll better try it again next time I enter Rieben in Harislee.

Deep red black in colour, very heby with a little malt. Jever both light and dark have a unny tang that i dont take to.
