Black color; big head. Nice aroma, roasted malt, hop, very light liquorice and yeast. Medium mouthfeel, quite dry; aggressive roasted malt flavor, too much for my taste; some malt and caramel too. The final is too dry and too bitter. Not bad.

Dark brown color, small expresso head. Light roastyness and lactose in the nose. Toasted malty, clean flavor, crisp with some coffee. Ok Schwarzbier.
