larsga (7693) - Oslo, - JUN 12, 2008
Medium beige head does not last. Black body goes dark red-brown at edges. Delicate burnt caramelly aroma,very harmonic. Sweetish burnt caramelly taste with chocolatey notes. Very clear and distinct. Sooty burnt caramel aftertaste lingers for a long time. Very nice. (0.33l bottle from Naito-san.)

labeerinthum (7940) - Milano, ITALY - JAN 31, 2024
UPDATED: JAN 31, 2024 Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso propende per l'orzo tostato. L'intensità olfattiva è normale, permanendo in maniera sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è come l'inchiostro nero. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è medio. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. Il tetto della bocca porta note di miele, caramello, pane, cioccolato fondente, caffè, liquirizia, nocciola, frutta secca, agrumi, mandarino, erbe e frutta disidratata.

Zlotta (8971) - Hagen, GERMANY - SEP 27, 2022
UPDATED: SEP 27, 2022 0.33 l bottle from 'Bierothek', best before November 2022. Clear, very dark ruby to black with a medium large, foamy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty aroma of dark chocolate, coffee and toasted nuts. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, quite roasty taste of dark chocolate, coffee, licorice and toasted nuts, followed by a short, gently roasty-bitter, a little earthy finish. Medium body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Good classic Schwarzbier, absolutely on point.
