Dobre piwo choć jak dla mnie nie rewelacyjne i nawet w swojej kategorii. Rubinowo-czerwone odcienie i gożki finisz są jak najbardziej porządane. Piwo lekko gryzie i zbyt głębokich łyków nie da się robić.

Well-balanced black beer, quaffable yet has some character. Half-liter bottle pours black, mahogany highlights, decent tan head. Light, malty nose is sweet, bready, slightly roasty. Lightly sweet flavor fades into a lightly bitter, roasted taste, with pumpernickel, chocolate and fainter coffee notes. Faintly roasty aftertaste. Nice for washing down a burger. Love to try it fresh on draft some day.

Bottle @ brewery tap Wurzburg. Nice brown-black but they served in a pils glass and it looks funny. Smells like a Malta. Slightly fizzy and thin. Sweet but nice.

Bottle @ bar in Würzburg. Pours a dark brownish with a large, latte-colored head. Aroma is light roast, some coffee, caramel, herbal notes. Taste is lightly metallic in the beginning, light roast, some coffee, lots of light caramel notes, light butter. Grassy finish. Palate is light and refreshing.

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

Bottle. A deep red beer with a big beige head. The aroma and taste is light roasted, dusty, of raisins and caramel malt. Medium body with a dry finish.

bottle, delivered by pivnizub! Deep brown, almost black, with a creamy beige head. Dry malty base, roasted malts, coffee, shy hints of caramel.

Bottle. Large beige thick creamy head that mostly lasted. Dark mahogany color. Good display of lacework. Roasted malt, chocolate, brown sugar, bread. Medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Light to moderated sweet flavor with light bitter notes. Light roasted malty sweetness in the finish.

Bottled: Black color, few, off-white foam. Aroma is roasty-malt with light sweet coffee notes. Flavor is sourly and salty, some grain notes. Dry in the end with some roasty notes. Astringent finish.

This beer’s head is tan-colored and fairly thin, and diminishes quickly. Its color is beautifully black, almost like a porter, but clearer and more noticeably brown. Its aroma is pleasant; very Germanic in quality, but dark, with roasted malt. Its flavor is somewhat bockish, but darker, more bitter, more chocolatey; however, it seems weak, almost watery, and fails to live up to the aroma’s promise. The mouthfeel is somewhat flat; no carbonation at all, no warmth. This isn’t a bad beer, but surely there must be better schwarzbiers out there. I like this enough that I want to find them, but not enough that I’d go out of my way to drink this one again.
