Bottle from Markgrafen, Würzburg
Beige color; generous compact head. As often happens, there is a strong aroma of paper and cardboard, and just light roasted malt. Simple caramel and roasted malt flavo, with some residual sweetness and a milky feeling. Low bitterness. Quite poor.

Draught, as Würzburg Hofbräu Dunkel. Almost black colour, no head. Bready, roasted flavour. A bit sweet.

Dark brown. Kind of thin, toasty nose. Sweetish palate, full body, and has a malta-like sweetness.

It’s black-red with a creamy and lasting head. The aroma has notes of earthy malt, caramel, light licorice and syrup. The flavour is moderately sweet with notes of earthy malt, light licorice and ryebread, and the finish is dry.

Stimmig malziger Antrunk, weich. Wenig Röstmalzaromen sind dabei vorhanden, außerdem eine leichte Herbe. Darüber hinaus hat das Bier nicht viel zu bieten, mit der Zeit wird es wässrig, was aber nicht störend ist. Im Abgang sind die Röstnoten weniger intensiv. Ein einfaches Schwarzbier, aber immerhin.

Bottle: ruby-amber coloured, smaller stable off-white foamy layer, sweetish - light to moderate - roasty to dark-malty nose; light to moderate dryish bitter-sweet flavour, almost medium bodied and soft; sweetish fruity and dark-malty finish. A pleasant Schwarzbier...

Roast-malty taste with chocolate, liquorice and traces of coffee; quite dry and moderately roasty, slightly bitter finish (12.05.08).
