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 (thanks Ughsmash). Pours a dark brown with a sizable tan head - looks like a glass of Coke. Muted aroma of malts and coffee. Very easy drinking. Tastes of caramel, malts and a little chocolate. Slight hop bitterness on the finish. Nicely balanced, nothing over-powering. Not exactly sure what I was out of this one, but I am glad I tried. Will look to pick a few more of these up!

Pours a black brown from the bottle, a creamy tan head with lots of creamy lacing, rich roasted malt with faint chocolate and coffee aromas on the nose, hint of vanilla, there are whiffs of a wood fire to this beer, not quite smokey, maybe dark roasted malt or almost burnt malt? This is not a negative but added to the dark roasted malt aroma, some licorice in the nose to, lots of roasted malt flavors with bitter chocolate and a touch coffee grain tastes, some sweet and faint caramel taste, dry palate in the finish, good tasty beer.

Bottle. Dark, chestnut color and a small tan head. Lightlty roasted aroma with a weak cofffee note and some honey notes. Dry and roasted in the mouth, with coffee and a medium body. Dry finish as well, with burnt notes. A cross between schwarzbier and stout was my first though on this one. (070427)

One of my favorite lagers here. Dark and opaque pour with a small tan head that leaves some lacing. Aroma of caramel and chocolate malts and spicy and fruity hops. Creamy carbonation enlivens the medium body. Taste echoes the aroma, with some roasty notes jumping into the caramel and chocolate backbone. Hop bitterness seems floral. Very nice!

Pours a lighter black color with a tan head. Aroma is of roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, molasses, and some caramel. Flavor is the same with a decent bitter finish that lingers. I’m glad I picked this brew up today, much better then what I was expecting.

Poured a clear very dark ruby-brown color with a thin off-white head. Nice smooth raosted aroma with some coffee notes. Roasty flavor. kind of on the dull side. Semi-sweet.
