Pours a really really deep chestnut brown. A tall tan fluffy head is produced when poured into a glass of some sort. I really didn't take notice of any carbonation. I forgot.
As far as schwarze goes very rich and malty with a slight roasted malt asppect and molasses hints.
Taste is rich and velvetty with a deep malty taste with hints of roasted malts and molasses. It drinks on the fuller side of medium with a clean finish. I picked this up on a wim at the beer store and I'm glad i did, it's a fantastic example of a schwarzebier. You can read extra here as imperial. The beer drank smooth and with a big full flavor. You could throw in some pumpernil too in there. Compare it to an Einbecker.

Das Schwarze Innstadt Bräu ist der Hammer! Der Kastaniensüße Geschmack ist mehr als geil. Ich kann euch nicht sagen warum, aber es ist einzigartig. Muss man probiert haben. Wenn nicht dann holts euch, hoff es schmeckt euch auch so guut wie Mir.

Bottle label data: none noted.

Dark brown body with a one-finger thick, lasting head. Vanilla and caramel smell; toffee and tree nuts; mild chocolate. Milk chocolate and toffee flavors; mild bitterness balances the malt sweetness. Silky, velvety smooth mouthfeel; medium-heavy body; semi-sweet finish.

A very tasty, smooth, mildly sweet dark lager that is sure to satisfy most dark beer lovers. Balanced flavors throughout with a nice touch of hop bitterness that keeps this beer from being overly sweet. Nice toasted grain character wrapped up in a lager smoothness. Highly recommended for all dark beer lovers.

(no discernible bottling or best-by date... poured into a flared pilsner glass)

A: tall, off-white head on pour - dense spongy foam.... not really all that black - more of a bock-like ruby-brown.... ultra-clear liquid.... fairly impressive but not unusual steady cap atop right through

S: cola, oxidized old malt, and perhaps some sweet brown bread

T: thin, very clean pils and brown malt flavors... palatable nuances of the scent of the wet leaves and bark of the edge of a wooded area on a cool, rainy afternoon... sort of an oxidized or old, dried-out hop flavor, somewhat floral (dried petals and sepals).... moderate amount of hop and roasty bitterness does actually balance nicely.... yeast character dominates an otherwise rather malt-absent, dry finish

M: super clean and quite satiny-smooth.... a tiny pinch of a fizzy prickle up front... the medium-light body suggests a bit of roundness

O: once again, don't know how old of a bottle this was.... comes across more like a dunkel lager than a schwarzbier... enjoyable to drink, just a touch more subdued on the dark-malty flavors than I was hoping for

Pours a dark mahogany color with a large tan head that fades to ample lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, dark fruit with a bit of chocolate in the background. taste of Roasted malt, dark fruit, some chocolate and bit of spice. Easy bitterness and a dry finish. Medium body, with a gritty malt texture with a bit of character. Nice beer for the style.

Pours an almost opaque super dark crimson-brown with a foamy dark khaki head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Foamy swaths of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of toasted malt, biscuit dough, and slight roast aromas. Taste is much the same with molasses and roasty flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of roasty bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that has some nice roasty qualities and is easy to drink.

(Served in a stemmed strange)
A- This beer pours an opaque jet brown body with a faint glow of dark brown at the very base. There is a sticky thin light beige head that leaves rings as I sip.

S- The rich sweet smell of dark fresh wort has some dried leave notes in the finish.

T- The rich full malt flavor has a mellow breakfast blend coffee malt note underneath with lots of fresh wort flavors and some dark cola notes in the finish. This beer is a bit sweet in the finish but it does have some lagered characteristics. Some roasted black malt hints come though but they don’t have any bitterness to them.

M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel with no alcohol heat and a thick texture in the finish.

O- This beer is tasty but a bit like carbonated wort, but much better than malta. The fresh malt flavors are nice but a bit too sweet to drink by the leader.
