What Our Editors Thought
“Dark brown and nearly opaque. Rye spice is evident from the aroma before roasted coffee and subtle malt sweetness come into play. Notes of black pepper linger through the finish.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Bready malt aroma with some roasty notes. Vaguely floral. Flavor is medium-full, toasted, almost caramel. A background spice note. Rather rich and full-bodied, with a clean fermentation. The mouthfeel is creamy yet well attenuated, very drinkable.”
What the Brewers Say
“A double-decocted, foeder-lagered schwarzbier with a balance of dark German malts and a large rye addition.”
