| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 4, 2004 Because the Badebier is one of the ingredients in this brew I though it would be a good idea to taste them alongside each other.
All in all the brew retains the same qualities known from the other Neuzelle Schwarzbier: Its heavily roasted and quite sweet.
However compared to the badebeer there seems to be a very sligth vegetable aroma (its either the algae or my mind is making this up).
Color os the same red black as the Badebier however the head is less stable.
It is quite evident that the beer is thinner, and the lighter body adds some sharp edges to the roasted tasteprofile. It tastes a bit clayish/saltier as well.
It lacks the creamy milkchocolate aftertaste of the badebier, but the lightness makes it easier to drink and more refreshing.
Did it work? Well I don't know, but since I both drank a Bathbier and this one, some will probably claim that I am both cleaner and living longer now....

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 14, 2007 [Sampled in 2005.] Beautiful darkcreamy look in an almost black atmosphere. Notes of some smoke, typical schwarzbierflavor, fruit, caramel and wateryness. An okay beer! Maria (6265), Thisted, Denmark
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 16, 2007 Well, since I have turned 50 and then some and like beer, it is natural to try to combine interests! So I opened an Anti Aging beer, hoping for miracles.... The head disappears very quickly on this almost black schwartzbier. The aroma is malty in a "hvidtøl" kind of way and it has notes of berries. The mouth feeling is rather smooth and the flavour has notes of berries (raspberry among others), a bit of licorice and some other notes, that is hard to pinpoint. But I do know the aroma of spirulina, and I think I can recognize it in the taste. It’s a mild and delicious beer with an sufficient bitter finish - and I guess it takes more than one to get results in the anti-aging front.... MoritzF (4973), Bochum, Germany
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 18, 2005 (bottle) Deep dark body with a small and brown creamy layer. Intense nose of roasted malts, toffee and a mineral element. Soft sweet aromatic taste of malts and mocha with a lasting coffee, liquorice and a bit salty finish. Very tasty and enjoyable, but lacks a bit body. Papsoe (14996), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 7, 2006 (Bottle 50 cl) Pours a clear, very dark brown with an off-white head. Aroma of hard roasted malt. Medium-bodied with sweetish, roasted malt and some odd, lightly tart notes of Vitamin-C or something like that - fruitish. A lightly burned edge. Very subdued bitterness. 070706 JorisPPattyn (5177), Antwerpen, Belgium
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 17, 2005 Nearly black, but with red highlights; amber-brown, creamy head. Stoutlike, roasted/burnt malts with a fruity ’hue’. Flavonoids occur naturally in dark beer, but here one can really smell them. Sweet, dark but sweet malts - bit of liquorice in the finish. Some fruity notes, but difficultly attribuable. Some esters too, it would seem. Very sticky & creamy MF, rather well-bodied. Not bad, like a not-too-German interpretation of a sweet stout.
