UPDATED: SEP 29, 2023 Red fruits aroma, watery body with light carbonation. Taste is roasty and burnt with small hints of plums and cherries. The more you drink the better it gets.

UPDATED: SEP 23, 2023 Schwarze Farbe mit weißer Schaumkrone. Malziger, leicht fruchtiger Geruch. Geschmacklich malzig, leicht röstmalzig, leicht fruchtig nach dunklen Früchten. Hohe Süße mit leichter Bitterkeit, mittlerer Körper mit spürbarer Kohlensäure.

UPDATED: SEP 18, 2023 (@L'Osteria,Berlin Memhardstraße) Aroma : Lightly roasted chocolate maltiness, hint of soft red fruits & brown sugar with a slightly dusty note.  Taste : Thinnish body, slightly watery texture. Moderately sweet with a touch of dry burnt dustiness. Highly malty, with low chocolate & brown sugar flavours. Has a slight metallic twang at the end. O.K. but not special

UPDATED: SEP 7, 2023 500ml bottle. Pitch black pour with a small lasting beige head. Aroma of caramel malts, chocolate, light roast. Taste is the same, slightly sweet and plenty of caramel malt, chocolate, light roast, hints of dark fruits, and a light bitter finish. Lovely example of the style.

UPDATED: JUL 3, 2023 Doft av mörk choklad och bränd malt. Brända smaker, med en aning kaffe och metall. Något tunn.

UPDATED: JUL 10, 2023 Wyprawa Berlin. Wypite, krótka ocena bez szczegółowych wrażeń. Normalnie też można pić piwo bez zastanawiania ;)

UPDATED: APR 24, 2023 # 3566; 4/2023. Aroma of bread, light spicy and flora. Dark brown with ruby highlights, tany head with lower persistence. Bready, spicy, roasty, light herbal, slightly sweet but quite dry finish. Very good schwarzbier. 0,5 l, bottle, supermarket, Tübingen (Swabia, Germany).

UPDATED: APR 4, 2023 Dark cola brown. Puffy, off-white head. Aroma is crackers, toast, and nuts. Taste is the same, but the texture is pretty thin.

UPDATED: MAR 12, 2023 A bit light in flavor for me, especially malt and hops, for a lager (albeit a black lager).

UPDATED: FEB 4, 2023 10/1/2013. Tap at Farringdon Tap with Gus. Pours very dark brown with a creamy off-white to beige head. Nice roasted, chocolatey, dark fruit aroma. Quite enjoyed it to begin with but it had an odd sourness develop which wasn't so nice.
