Kulmbacher Mönchshof Schwarzbier

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

A red-brown beer with a light brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of coriander and parmesancheese. The flavor is creamy and sweet with notes of roasted bread with the parmesancheese in the background and a dry chocolate end.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pitch black with a reddish hue and a nice, brownish head. Very dry example of the style, roasted almost burned malt flavours adding to the marked and very long bitterness. Not really for me. 061201 and 020105
