A red-brown beer with a disappearing light brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel, while the flavor is sweet malty with notes of straw and a dry end.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very dark, almost black with a creamy and quite stable light brown head. Very dry with pronounced notes of the roasted malts, but not really bitter. Top fermented and closer to a dry Irish stout than an ale. A bit like Guinness in Finnish. 160405

Very dark brown. Coffee aroma. Rather light bodied, velvetty mouth feel, medium bitterness. Well balanced, but not overly complex. Surprisingly good for being a Koff.

Bottle. Clear dark red / brown color with a average good lacing light brown head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, chocolate, coffe. Flavor moderate sweet and light bitter with a short duration. Body is light to medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft, finish feel is moderate to heavy metalic. No my kind of schwartzbier !!

Bottled. Black opaque, huge brown creamy/foamy longlasting head. Lacing. Aroma of paperfactory... also some roasted malt as well as old coffee aroma is present. Weak roasted malt in flavour, as well as some sweetish hints. A bit stoutlike as for the roastiness. Sticky palate, and roasted, semibitterish aftertaste.

A light schwarzbier in the Schwarzer Steiger mode, but give Koff for one thing - this beer has a smooth maltiness that is hard to attain. And, they don’t require the use of nitrogen to get it.

Dark brown color; big head. Sweet aroma; malt, corn-like, light vanilla. Not really malty, thin mouthfeel in the beginning, it becomes more bitter, with a lot of caramel and roasted nuts.

Bottled
Almost opaque. Tanned creamy head. Aroma sweet and coffee. Starts bitter, medium thin, sweet toffee and roasted malt, some bitter hops in the end. Just too thin to be excellent beer and needs more ABV but otherwise complex enough and one of the best from KOFF brand, like a little brother of brewery's world famous Porter.(6/5/7/4/14 3.6)
Re-rate: (Bottled, BB 03/2005)
Opaque black with tanned brown medium head. Roasted malt, rubbery aroma. Roasted, slightly sweet and medium-bodied. This is not "an ale" but more like "Schwarzbier". (6/5/5/3/14 3.3)
