Ørbæk Dark Horse

Brewed by Ørbæk Bryggeri
Style: Schwarzbier
Ørbæk, Denmark

Bottle. Poured near black with a brown head. Aroma had notes of sweet roasted malts as well as some dark fruits (plum and raisins). Flavor had sweet caramel and licorice notes. It also had plenty of roasted malts.

Dark filtered amber, little head, carbonated. Porter like aroma. Hard roast. Flavour: Hard Roasted, dry, not complex. Medium light body. What is the difference between a black beer and a brown porter? (This is my second black beer) Watery/carbonated/fresh AND roasted/dry is for me an odd combination. Purchased in SuperBrugsen, Halmtorvet.

Bottle. Clear brown body with a medium off white head. Light hoppy aroma with some roasted malt and aramel. Fruity and light roasted malt with nice caramel notes. Ok.

Bottle. Dark brown with medium pale brown head. Long lasting. Aroma initially roasted malts and some sweetness, then dates, figs, plumes. Taste sweet malty, roasted malts, caramel. A fine schwarzbier, reminding a little of a dubbel, so maybe not the most characteristic example.

Bottled 5,0% Dark ruby-brown color, small steady creamy beige head, some lace. Licorice, wood, sticky grass, berries, cardboard in the nose. Hard licorice candy and salty flavor, some cardboard. Decent similar aftertaste.

Huge light brown creamy head. Clear nut brown body. Malty aroma. Burnt-roasted malt. Light bitter finish. Oily thin texture. The flavor is balanced between medium sweetness and light bitterness.

Bottled. Deep amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is caramel malts, mild maplesyrup as well as some rubbery notes. Flavour is caramel malts, mild liquorice, some spices as well as mild notes of raisins.

Moderate malty aroma. Large, frothy, good head. Mostly diminishing longevity. Clear yellow body. Moderate bitter flavor. Medium palate.
