Craft Black Lager

Brewed by Craft Brewery
Style: Schwarzbier
Athens, Greece

courtesy of Oliver Bieri - opaque dark black coloured with a firm and long lasting beige foam; fairly toasted nose with notes of ashes and bacon; moderate malt body, very creamy palate, tart and slightly acidic; moderately dry, creamy and toasted malty finish with weird notes of vegetables - something looks wrong to me here

Dark brown color. Pleasant, sweet aroma with some roasted tones. Finish is quite good.

330ml bottle (Stockman, Tallinn)
Almost black, brief fizzy tan head. Slightly sharp and almost sour aroma, but not off. Sharp carbonation, quite harsh. Roasted body. Taste has some of the sharpness from the aroma, and quite a kick of really burnt malts. Not so far as to be ashy though, quite a good schwartz in fact. Finish is almost entirely deeply roasted malts.

Bottle 330ml. @ RBESG 09 Grand Tasting @ [ The Harlequin, Sheffield, England. ]
Clear dark brown color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to beige head. Aroma is moderate malty, hay, roasted, caramel, coffee, smoke - peat, brown sugar. Flavor is moderate sweet and light moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20090719]

Pours a four finger tan head that fades slowly leaving traces of lace. Black color, no highlights. Light-medium carbonation and light-medium bodied. Oak nose. Flavor is a smokey oak and subdued caramel. Best by Dec 2009. €1.45 ($2.06) for a 330ml bottle from a supermarket in Athens, Greece.

[RBESG, Sheffield] Grand Tasting @ The Halequin, Sheffield... deep brown ... thin tan head ... sweet toasted oats ... light fruit ... light sweet hop .... caramilsed sugers and little toffee.

330ml Bottle - Dark brown with red tinges. Malty aroma with some roasted hints and elements of dried fruit and caramel. Roasted and slightly smoky taste with hints of coffee, chocolate and caramel. Fairly enjoyable.
