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.

Bottle from a trade. Thanks whoever sent this. Pours a dark hazelnut with a small tan head. Aromas of chocolate, roasted malts, ash, and coffee. Flavor is a little more muted with more chocolate and a mild hoppy thing. Pretty good, I think I liked the Kidd Lager better.

The top rated schwarzbier on tap at the brewey, alright, here we go. Dark brown almost black, with creamy tan head and lacing. Smoky and roasty aroma very light. Smoky sweet roasted malt with cherry, oh so good. Medium body and well carbonated. This is a very good beer.

Sprecher’s best. Great appearance. Wonderful pour and head. Good character. Not too hoppy. Great roasted flavor and licorice flavor. Good beer.

Poured coffee black. Really not impressed by this beer. Very weak aroma and taste. The flavor that is detectable is bland and nothing that great. Maybe I had a bad bottle or maybe this beer is average at best??

The bottle I had did not look like the picture to the left. Pours black with smokey roasted caramel aroma and taste. Had some light bandaid notes but not too bad. Light sweetness and very enjoyable. Better than I thought it would be. Well made.
