What Our Editors Thought
“Restrained espresso and roasted-malt nose with glimpses of toast. Beautifully controlled on the palate, with dry body, light flavor, and a hint of dark chocolate alongside the light, balanced bitterness.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Big chocolate aroma invokes dessert, but the dry, smooth, clean flavor says this is beer. Bread with light chocolate notes and a dry finish. Expert balance of clean malt flavors with enough bitterness to balance the hint of sweetness.”
What the Brewers Say
“German-style schwarzbier showcases subtle notes of chocolate and coffee.”
