Schwarzbier is your new favorite beer. Our new Schwarzbier aka black beer is a dark lager that balances malt and hop. Unlike Porters or Stouts and other dark beers, they are not overly bitter with the burnt and heavily roasted malt characteristics that these styles tend to depend on. Instead, hops are used to achieve a good portion of the bitterness. Smooth on the palate, soul lifting, and refreshing with a dry finish.

Dark Matter was released in Sept. 2023 (only) at the SoPro Taproom on draft and in pint can 4-pks. Had at the Taproom for SoPröst (Oktoberfest) 2023 on side-pull slow pour draft into 18-oz. rounded seidel.

Pours deep ruby-brown, almost black unless backlit, with a creamy, 1-finger, very light tan head, showing good retention, and leaving nice rings of Belgian lace etched down the glass. Aroma of mild caramel malt and a little dark fruit off pour, with a little grassy noble hop aroma, and more creamy malt and a little noble hop spice as warms. On tasting, begins smooth, creamy and sweetly malty, with some noble hop bite to keep it crisp, before a little dark fruit sneaks in, leading into the malty, but not sticky, and finally drying, nobly-hoppy, crisp finish.

Nearly perfect rendition of a deceptively simple style. It must enter SoPro's seasonal rotation.
