Pennichuck Feuerwehrmann Schwarzbier (Firefighter Black Lager)

Brewed by Pennichuck Brewing Company
Style: Schwarzbier
Milford, New Hampshire USA

Very dark brown with a thin head. Cocoa and chocolate in happy abundance. Full body is smooth, rich, and gently roasty and very chocolatey. Complex, balanced, delicious schwarzbier with an off-dry finish.

Pours dark brown with a white head. Smells of light chocolate, bananas, fuity. Tastes of roasted malt, brown sugar, some nice rich chocolatey hints. Excellent!

ahh yes, a good ol’ schwarz! murky dark brown with ruby highlights under a loud fizzy foamy tan head. creamed coffee, a bit of smokey burnt wood. flavors of burnt smoky malts, dark roast. really roasty. a bit bitter. very dry finish. light-medium body. a little sharply carbonated. solid.

22oz bottle. Black, reddish-brown pour. Light brown colored head. Aroma of burnt grains. I love black patent malts! Some coffee, sweet cereal. Flavor has a nice nut character, lots of roast, burnt grain, and good bit of dark chocolate. Very clean. Sharp, bold roast character. Thin texture. Leaves a well balanced noble hops bitterness on the palate. This beer for the style is so F’n good. I absolutely love it! What a great session beer. I would open a bar just to have this on tap at all times. Long live the Schwarzbier, Prost! Damn this beer makes me HAPPY.

At Vero. thanks Backus for setting this aside. Dark black-brown, semi-clear. Husky aroma. Mellows into a sweeter and finely structured malt body. Excellent level of sweetness. Smooth, with a gorgeous body.

re-rate...totally black with thick tan head. Good-looking brew. Some spice in the aromas. Ginger? Some cola. Very authentic aromas. clean, good. Delicious, Perfect mouthfeel, creamy but light at the same time. The flavors are spot on for the style, not too much roast, not too much chocolate, but has both. Subtle and very good!

Pours black with thin brown head. Aroma is coffee, chocolate, and liquorice and some cinnamon. Medium bodied with chocolate, and roastiness with lighter lager characteristics. Finishes with a clean hop dryness. Interesting beer. My first schwartz. Good stuff.

Aroma is rich, smoky and yeasty with a nutty hint, quite appealing. It pours a deep, barely translucent sable that shows reddish brown at the bottom and has a frothy light tan head that hangs around for a bit. Flavor is spicy, malty, a little smoky with woody and caramel hints. Texture is smooth and lively, bubbly and tingly.

Appearance: Pours a near black body with some ruby-hued hints at the edges and capped with a medium-sized, ivory-hued head. Smell: The nose is comprised of light roasted notes smelling of thinned out molasses, Breakfast Blend coffee, nuts, half a Tootsie Roll, and fruit. Taste: Assortment of roasted malts tastes - mild coffee, sweetish Tootsie Rolls, more nuts, and charred grains. Subtle hint of dark fruitiness. Spicy Noble hops blend with the roastiness from the blackened malts. Larger toasty caramel tones on the latter half. Drying finishes with lingering hints from the hops and roasted malts. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel. Drinkability: A solid, satisfactory Schwarzbier that goes down easy.
