Sweet caramel and malt aromas with hints of dark fruit and brown bread. Light medium mouthfeel with good carbonation. Sweet taste reminiscent of dark fruit and pumpernickle bread with delicate hop finish and lingering suggestions of bitter chocolate and coffee. Light interpretation of a schwarzbier, but nontheless enjoyable and appetizing, great session beer. Try with smoked sasauge or spicy, smoky barbeque. Optigon (562), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
