OMB is proud to announce the debut of a delicious new black lager (Schwarz-Bier) brewed in collaboration with our friends at Störtebeker Braumanufaktur, Germany’s premier craft brewery!
This “Black Lager for Black Friday” marks the first collaboration between the top brewery from the “original” Mecklenburg (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany, the home of Queen Charlotte), and OMB, the oldest craft brewery in the “new” Mecklenburg (Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.)
This Schwarz-Bier is a smooth, full-bodied dark lager with rich notes of coffee, chocolate, and pumpernickel bread, balanced by hints of cherry licorice and cola caramel. It has a creamy mouthfeel and clean refreshing finish making it the perfect winter companion in our biergarten or at your home!

On tap at the brewery, served in a mug
The beer pours deep brown (nearly black) with ruby highlights, and about two fingers worth of tan head that slowly recedes leaving behind virtually no lacing.
The aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, dark bread, caramel, and just a hint of coffee.
The flavor is similar to the aroma; roasted malt, chocolate, caramel, and a nice breadiness. Clean and balanced with a medium/light body and moderate carbonation.
Overall, this is a very nice beer, and a nice example of the style.
