Copenhagen 27/8 2017. 50 cl bottle from Meny. Obscure painting of Luther on the label.

Pours very dark opaque brown with off-white head. Settles as thin patchy layer of foam drifting aimlessly around.

Aroma is strong and roasted. Coffee, dark chocolate - more bitter than sweet.

Medium to soft carbonation and medium thick palate.

Flavor is strongly sweet followed by medium bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet and roasted with sour notes.

A bit on the sweet side - but certainly a more than decent Schwarzbier.
