2012 Australian Amateur Homebrewing Champion beer, brewed at Young Henry's for GABS Festival 2013. Tried on tap at the festival in Melbourne, May 2013.

Pours a coffee colour, clear with nice beige crown of foam on the top. Pretty-nice-looking, if a little pale for the style.

Smells sweet, with a touch of roast. Notes of chocolate and a subtle espresso character as well. Decent schwarz smell.

Taste is again pretty standard for the style. Slight maltiness upfront descends into darker unsweetened chocolate notes, with a touch of licorice spice and a slight dark caramel note. Decent darkish palate; quite sweet though.

Fairly light on body but it matches the palate and the style nicely. Slight touch of carbonation.

I'm not a huge fan of schwarzbiers as a rule because they seem to straddle a bunch of different styles. This is certainly a decently made example though.
