Commercial Description:
This intensely dark Kulmbacher style lager has a superb malt complexity with the distinctive flavors and aromas of coffee, caramel and chocolate. A renowned smoothness and a creamy, tan head make it an all-time brewery favorite.

Had on tap. A dark beer that is very nice. Aroma is slightly confusing, but tastes of malts, nutty, coffee, even smoke, but smooth and easy to drink. Will drink again.

Bottled. Great Schwarzbier. Pours out clear black with a small tan head than dissolves into a ring. Busy aroma of smoke, chocolate, malt and some coffee. Very easy to drink with a mild, roasted flavour. Not overpowering at all.

Pours a deep black body with a medium sized tan head. full bodied, rich roasted malts and a nutty aftertaste. Has a unique mouthfeel, a very filling beer.

Bottle sampled with Mad_Indian. Pours dark with a small tan head. Aroma of roasted caramel and chocolate malts. The flavor is slightly sweet, chocolate, roast, caramel. Good for its style, but i found this brew to be generally thin and boring.

Bottle. Pours a pitch black color, with some reddish highlights. Thick carbonated foamy tan head. Decent lacing. Caramel aroma, and some smoke. Slight vanilla. Straightforward but good. Roasted malt flavors, chocolate, and lots of malt flavors, all well-crafted. Medium bodied, quite drinkable, and, most importantly, good with dessert.

16oz. Bottle: Aroma of malts, soy sauce, roasting, and burnt malts. Poured very dark brown in color with a small brown head that disappeared immediately. Opaque. Flavor of burnt malts, roasting, chocolate, coffee, soy sauce, and a little licorice. Medium body. Lightly sticky texture. Average to lively carbonation. Burnt malt finish.

Wow. Pour is engine oil black with thick tan head. Nice lacing on the mug. Aroma is of roasted barley and burntness. There are also some notes of chocolate in the aroma. Palate is surprisingly smooth yet so full of flavor. Flavors include a perfect roasted character, nice malt bill, notes of chocolate, and hints of caramelized malts towards the finish. This is a very good brew. Would definitely buy again.
