500 ml bottle, bought at KaDeWe, Berlin. Dark brown colour, nearly black. Large and lasting greyish brown head. Moderate malty aroma with notes of caramel and bakery, hints of prunes. Moderate carbonation, mellow and pleasant mouthfeel. Nice moderately malty flavour with a pleasant roastiness, hints of schwarzbrot. Easy drinking. I like it.

A lot more acidity than most other Schwarzbiers.
Accompanied with roasty notes and an offputting metallic note.
I'd put this closer to a Czech Tmavy than a Schwarzbier.

Colour dark brown with ruby highlights, clear. Foam beige, fluffy and stiff, long time does not reduce its volume. The aroma does not happen too much, also is not very clear. It is light roasted coffee, little notes of fruit, hops. The taste is generally the same as the aroma of roasted at a moderate level, slightly fruity notes. The loading medium toward low.

I've only had a few dark lagers but this is my favorite so far.well balenced taste that's not to overpowering. Strong scent of dark roasted grains and flavor notes of dark chocolate and coffee. Would love to try this again.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a US tumbler pint glass.

A: The beer is a dark brown color, with a short off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.

S: The aroma contains lager yeast, caramelized malts, some hops and touches of honey and coffee.

T: The taste starts out with an odd sweetness from flavors of honey, coffee and caramel. Then some breadiness comes in from lager yeast and a thin malt character for the style. The hops presence is mild but brings a little bit of balance. The after-taste is slightly sweet and slightly bready.

M: A little crisp and a little smooth but a bit watery, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.

O: A little tasty, goes down ok, not too filling, mild kick, not the best representation of style, it’s a decent beer but not really what you look for in a Schwarzbier.

12oz bottle, gold-lettered black label, brewed by Minhas under 'strict' supervision from the fine folks (how fine can they be if they selected this brewery as their North American partner?), popped open at Pizza Brew in Calgary.

This beer pours a clear, dark orange brick brown colour, with one finger of weakly puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly ecru head, which leaves virtually nothing in the way of lace anywhere near the glass as it rashly blows off.

It smells of lightly toasted caramel malt, sugary dark fruit - plums, maraschino cherries, and bruised banana - faint sickly yeast, a wan fleshy nuttiness, and ethereal earthy hops. The taste is gritty, roasted pale and caramel malt, more stale oily nuts, mushy bananas, dead yeast, and a still weak earthy, mildly floral hoppiness.

The bubbles are quite soft and innocuous, manifesting in a nice even frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and mostly smooth, with a hint of pithy cloyingness that fades readily before a climbing airy creaminess. It finishes on the sweet side, the roasted caramel malt seeing little lingering competition.

Huh, the German brewers must have held the hands of every employee in Monroe during the brewing of this beer, as well as possessed a magic wand to cast away the inherent industrial effluent house character. Not a bad schwarzbier, simple in its rendition, but drinkable enough.

Pours a deep ruby/dark brown from a 12 oz. capped bottle into a pint glass. Topped by an inch of light tan foam and showing good clarity.

Nice malty aroma with a bit of sweetened chocolate along with sweet cherry licorice and just a touch of roast. Nice and clean on the smell and offering a bit of minty spice with warming.

Taste is fuller than expected with a firm carbonation hitting the palate initially, followed by some drier chocolate notes and finishing with a slightly more viscous sweetness as the carbonation dissipates. Bit of biscuity hops on the finish. Overall a bit light in color but steady and fulfilling otherwise.

Note: Similar label but with a black background. No markings on bottle but bottom of six-pack carrier notes that this is brewed in Monroe, WI (Minhas?) and under 'strict supervision' from the brewery, by Eurobevs.
