Who the fuck is it here that can’t figure out that this thing is full of corn sytup, sugar and corn malt. Dark balck beer, 1 inch light tan thich foam head. Aroma of light wheat malt and sugar, and corn sugar. Tastes like a corn sugared up lager. Might as wll be pale yellow. Finish is like honey comb cereal. Mouthfeel is bright and watery. What a pour excuse for a schwarzbier.

Coloração preta, espuma bege (mais pra escura) densa, volumosa, mas que foi retraindo quase que totalmente, porém deixando marcas nas laterais da taça. Notas suaves de malte torrado e café. Quase não há amargor. Cerveja leve e agradável. Boa opção dentre as Schwarzbier.

12 oz. bottle on 10/6/2008. Dark, clear, ruby/brown body under a large, creamy, light tan head that settles to a persisting thin layer, and leaves some nice lace. Roasted malt aroma up front, undercurrent of light spicy and floral hops. Good balance of flavors between burned sugar, molasses, and a clean, refreshing, yet gentle, bitterness. Medium body and light carbonation, smooth, drinkable, clean palate. This is a good schwarzbier - balanced, clean, refreshing.

Solid dark beer here. I had this at a hotel in Fritzlar Germany and had it with a steak. Pours black with minimal head lacing. Tasted dry with some raosty malt.

Bottle: Pour is very dark brown/black with a medium lasting light tan head. Aroma is very roasted with strong notes of molasses as well as some brown sugar. Flavor is lot more roasted with a medium/light malt flavor along with some light cocoa finishing with some light buttery characters. Not a bad brew and is definitely easy to drink. Aroma is a bit over-powering but again, not bad. Pretty decent brew
