Black,. yellow brown foam that lasts. Sour aroma with a hint of burned malt. Thick with low carbon. Malty taste with a little fruit. Strong aftertaste, coffee and chocolate that lasts somewhat. Not a typical scwarzbier and not well balanced.

UPDATED: AUG 29, 2011 Black and brown with a creamy off-white head. In the nose lots of dark roasted malts and licorice. In the mouth, star anise, dark sugar, a little coffee and roasted malt. Rich luscious body with mild carbonation. I miss a little acidity - dry malty aftertaste.

0.5L bottle. Big-bubbled firm choco head. Body is translucent dark brown. Bready nose with some hard roasted malt tones. Notes of burnt coffee beans and spices. Dry malt flavor, not much residual sugars left. Very coffee-ish. Distinctly bitter, both from the hops and the malts. Medium body strenght. Dry, roasted malt finish.

Vätska/skum: Mycket mörk med ganska stor skumtopp som lägger sig relativt snabbt. Doften: Trevlig fyllig med tydliga toner av ek, rök, lite svagt rostat och jag tycker även jag känner en aning rött… är det blod?… nej, det är nog bara röda bär. Smaken: Oj, va fyllig och oljig den är. Tydlig lakrits, ek, tjära och svart kaffe. Rökigheten blir lite tydligare i smaken. Är det en mörk lager? Nja i det här fallet skulle jag heller ville säga att det är en stout på gränsen till imperial stout.¨ Eftersmaken är en aning kort (men det är ju faktisk inte en stout som jag nästan blev frestat att recensera den som). Lite het alkohol är det i eftersmaken, men inte något som stör. Jag satt länge och doftade och smuttade på denna – och blev mycket nöjd.

Very nice strong schwarzbier / baltic porter from Neuzeller Klosterbräu. I was sold on the label. Looks like this was originally brewed at Kyritzer; however, in its present incarnation the alcohol has been increased to 7.2%. Pours a deep brown with a decent tan head. If memory serves, this seems an awful lot like the Neuzeller Porter. It would be interesting to taste these back-to-back to ferret out the differences.

Dark brown with a small beige lacing head. Coffee and roasted malts, molasses, liqueric dried fruits like plum, raisins. Sweet taste of caramel, low carbonation, coffee and roasted grains. Peat and roasty aftertertaste.

Poured dark brown with a beige lacing head. Licorice, anise, molasses, roasted malts (lots of it), and hints of plum, raisin fruitiness. Sweet taste with low carbonation. Well balanced overall. A little too sweet, but still good!

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a clear reddish brown with a beige head leaving laces. Lightly burned malt aroma. Medium body, lightly sweetish roasted malt with a whiff of vanilla. Dry, lightly burned finish. 221108

Dark brown with red glimts and a beige head. Sweet aroma with notes of roasted malt, caramel and hints of rye bread. Flavour is somewhat sweet with roasted malt and caramel notes. Finished sweet.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden deep amber with a diminished tan head. Mild roasted aroma with a mild acidic touch. Smooth roasted malty flavour with a nice breadish malt flavour. Smooth into the finish emitting a bit of acidic flavours.
