Kulmbacher Mönchshof Schwarzbier

Brewed by Kulmbacher Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: Schwarzbier
Kulmbach, Germany

Basically a dark lager. No complexity really. Some malt is there in the flavor. Thin palate.

Poured from a bottle. Dark brown color. Almost looks like a nut brown. Light hop aroma and maybe a little fruity. Good taste. Lots of roasted malts with a little bit of hops. Very smooth. Maybe I should try more of these dark pilsners.

Dark amber colour, huge white head and everlasting lacing. Soft roasted malt in the pretty weak aroma. Taste consists of roasted malt and a bit of chocolate in the finish. Very wellbalanced.

Poured a copper red color with a large off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast, citrus fruitiness, caramel and nuts. Taste was very malty of caramel, roast and chocolate, light smoke, with a short, dry, lightly bitter finish. Pretty stoked I picked this one up.

bottle at local pub. rich dark roasted malt flavor without bitterness. medium bodied and very drinkable.

Deep brown - but not black - colour with a fine beige head. Aroma is roasted with subtle hints of chocolate and smoke. In my book, the beer actually is »supremely drinkable« despite the distinct dark and malty flavour. A nice and smooth schwartzbier!

Slightly burned caramel nose. Taste changes between the sweet and the dry. Well balanced, interesting example of the style.

Light toasted nose, clear dark brown color, frothy head. Thin creamy malt with some light chocolatey tastes. A little nuttiness too with a dry woody flavor after the swallow. Quite reserved but a decent schwarzbier.
