Tonight's brew is a Schwarzbier, which in German means black lager, these are lagers and not porters or stouts which get there bitterness from burnt and dark roasted malts, these brews use hops similar to a regular German pils or lager. It poured almost black in colour with tons of creamy tan coloured head that eventually settles to leave lots of very sticky lacing that clings to the glass as you drink this brew. The aroma has hints of espresso, dark chocolate and dark fruits. The flavour is dark roasted malts, coffee, baker's chocolate and a hint of hops in the background. It is almost a very light version of a Guinness. Overall a very good black lager, 3.7out of 5.
