Jever Dark

Brewed by Jever (Oetker Group)
Style: Schwarzbier
Jever, Germany

A dark brown beer with a fine chocolate brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel, licorice, straw, and malt. The flavor is grainy sweet with notes of caramel, nuts, and hints of licorice. It has a very bitter end both coming from bitter hops and roasted malt. A very nice Schwarzbier.

(Bottle 33 cl) Very black - almost opaque - with a decent, slightly off-white head. Nice, full body with lots of roasted malts. Smooth and pleasant and not as ashy dry as some Schwarzbiers. Comes in an unusual body with the label printed on to it. 210403

Bottled. Dark brown. Chocolate aroma. Sweet, rather light bodied and not very firm. Milk chocolate finish.

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a huge, dense and tan head. Sweetish brewmash like aroma. Flavour holds mild roasted malt notes, minor chocolate smoothness, medium sweetness, light acidity and a solid bitterness into the finish. Finish shows a mix of acidity from the roasted notes and bitterness. Quite nice and easy beer.
