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 courtesy of qdog. Pours dark brown with no head. This smells like a Ricola (original) cough drop to me, which is a good thing. Flavor had some syruppy molasses and lots of dark roasted grains. Decent.

Nice, thick light brown head of very fine bubbles. Light carbonation. Head lasts for a while. Wonderful aroma with milk, chocolate, roasted grains and a bit of soy sauce. Color is a very dark port red/black. Roasted grains, plenty of malts, bitterswet chocolate and a bit of coffee round a very full and creamy flavor. Finish is slightly bitter with more coffee. An excellent schwarzbier.

Aroma is full of cookie, toasted, nutty, roasted malts, milk chocolate, molasses and caramel. Light flowers and cinnamon. Appearance is a fully lasting large creamy light brown head with excellent lacing. The body is clear and a dark brown/black color. The flavor is moderately/heavy sweet with a light bitterness. The finish is long. Roasted milk chocolate, sweet caramel, and brown sugar note the flavor. The palate is full and mostly creamy, although, there’s a watery aspect to it too. The carbonation is lively. Very aromatic, very fulfilling.

Bottle: Very malty and sweet aroma. Lots of molasses, toffee, light chocolate, and light nuttiness. Pours a dark brown with red hilights. Real light molasses and toffee up front with some nuttiness added in the finish. Thanks to qdog.

Dark brown body, small creamy tan head. Nice raisin nut bran and coffee in nose. Pretty good sized flavor... earthy and roasted malt, dry roasted coffee finish. Pretty good overall... balanced and nothing wrong.
