Löwenbräu Schwarze Weisse

Brewed by Löwenbräu Munich (InBev)
Style: Dunkelweizen
Munich, Germany

On tab at a biergarten in Berlin. The darkest of the three i had (duh) and the weakest. I quickly killed it and moved on

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Dark amber and murky with big brown head which soon diminishes, caramel aroma with some roasted maltiness, banana and vanilla in the taste. Bit watery in the mouthfeel department, with a shortish aftertaste. Quite nice, no problem with it, though there are much better dark wheatbeers.

Thin, reddish brown body. Smells of clove and corn. Taste is sweet clove and drying. Ends drying, bitter. I was not impressed by this as much as the others I had from Lowenbrau.

Bottle. Well it's drinkable - but it's a miserable quality beer of no character. Mouthfeel is nasty - thin, harsh and fizzy. The flavours are murky and confused. And the colour is a shitty red brown. Aroma is merely the fizz gas. God, this is a bad beer - as far removed from a decent brew as it's possible to get while still remaining drinkable.

Bottled(500ml). -dark amber with big brown head, caramel aroma with some roasted maltiness, this beer would be better if it had higher alcohol content

Not too bad, though nothing special. Aroma is also fairly faint and flavor lacks typical sweetness, but some roasted maltiness is present in this one. Smooth finish.

Dark amber with rich head. Estery nose. Smooth maltiness, filling, syrupy mouthfeel.

It says on the bottle ’Ein Bier wie Bayern’ (a beer like Bavaria). Well, in that case Bavaria has a murky-brownish color, has a strong vanilla and banana aroma. I would say the black bavaria is somewhat better than the regular white (really orange) one :-)
