Jever Dark

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

average carbonation, oily feel, medium body, malty, nearly caramel taste, dark brown tasty colour

Dark. Rich as a stout, but heavier. Burned, but also some prunes-taste. The hops are very good, making it a rich and well balanced beer. Very good. Not as excellent as the Jever pilsner, but....far better than most.

Dark color, almost porterlike. Nice longneckbottle with a unique capsule. But the beer is to rich of CO2 to drink it from the bottle. The taste is dry, roasted malts, with a hind leftover sugars, and in the aftertaste some bitters and bayleave tones.

Bottle. Pours dark red, nearly black. Somewhat opaque, with a medium, cream colored head. Aroma of roast malt and coffee. Very dry mouthfeel, with flavors of roast malt, roast malt and again, roast malt. Then comes a bit of coffee flavor and hint of dark chocolate. Average carbonation. The finish is dry, hoppy and long. Very dry for a Schwarzbier, but definitely good.

Dark brown in colour. Big roasted malt aroma. Texture is quite thin but flavour is full and bitter. Very nice overall and would make a great session beer.

Bottle, 330ml. Sometimes all the ingredients for a good beer are there, but they just don’t go well together. No head, very dark colour, almost like a black beer. Quite malty, burned aroma. A sparkling sensation, where uneven malt and hops jump around. The hops finally win and take over in the finish. Not a bad beer at all, but it doesn’t earn more than 10/20 from me.

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.

Dark black hue with a creamy off white head. Light aroma of roasted malt. Porter like taste with roasted, toasty malt and coffee hints medium body with a long finish. Decent dark beer.
