Commercial Description:
This traditional lager is medium in body with a deep roasted character. Its dark color and rich malty flavor come from specially roasted caramel and chocolate malts. This brew is lightly hopped with Noble Bavarian hops for a soft spiciness and a smooth clean finish. Cheers!

Pours a deep clear mahogany, with garnet highlights and a quick fading light tan head. Aroma of chocolate and roasty characteristics is amplified in the flavor. A vegetal cocoa flavor is added. Body is medium with moderate carbonation.

(Bottle). Sweet malt aroma. Very dark brown, with creamy light brown head. Pretty nice flavor profile that fits the style, roasty with some caramel and a hint of spicy hops. Lingering finish.

355 ml bottle. Dark brown, close to black body with a big creamy beige head. Aroma is slightly roasted malt, coffee and mocha. Flavor is light roasted malt, coffee and a hit of caramel. Medium body, and that’s probably perfect for a Schwarzbier. Refreshing, tasty, balanced and incredible quaffable.
