A tribute to the rich history of German black lager production with our own twist, Feldberg incorporates experimental hops characterized by gentle coconut and oak notes. Featured aromas include rich cocoa powder, Vienna roast coffee and dark bread. Flavors accentuate notes of mocha, toffee and oaky coconut around the periphery, with crisp bitterness.

Reddish amber-brown with two fat fingers of tan head. Moderate retention and spotty lacing.
Roasted malts with hints of coffee, chocolate and caramel behind. Maybe even a little stone fruit behind that.
The taste is also very toasty — roasty even — with a mild acerbic quality. Less depth than the nose. Just a hint of the caramel.
Medium bodied with sharp carbonation.
A tasty beverage overall. The presentation had me expecting something a touch different, but it’s still very drinkable, which is a top quality for the style.

Canned on 9/8/20; consumed on 12/2/20
Pours a clear, deep chestnut-mahogany body capped with a finger of fluffy, pale/off-white foam; decent head retention leaves a thin veil of cap along with an equally thin though frothy collar and a limited spread of big, blotchy lacing around the walls of the glass.
Aroma features toasted black bread coupled with a firm underlying yeast upfront; the middle is multi-dimensional with nutty characteristics easing into distant hints of cocoa, and slight coffee atop a moderately roasty malt base, into which a tinge of grassy hops are elegantly fused on the close.
Taste opens with brown bread and hints of cocoa into lightly toasted cereal grain with darkening malts, and touches of black tea on the finish; black bread crusts, delicately charry roast, and a fading minerality linger past the swallow.
Mouthfeel brings a light body with a moderate, sporadically heavy-handed carbonation, though a consistently taut texture soon enables a clean mid-palate; pillowy grit phases into the back end with a lingering dryness and calmly dissipating char through the swallow.
A steadfast dispersion of nuanced malt character provides an easygoing yet intriguingly complex development, approachable yet robust despite a tamer ABV and achieving many an ideal for a lighter take on the Schwarzbier as a whole.

Dark cloudy caramel color with a 4F head in a Pilsner glass.
Light aroma of raisins, dates, malt.
The body was a bit light, and too carbonated.
Excellent taste with warming. Date, raisin and malt.
Traditional slightly bitter malty finish.
Overall: I was looking for at least a medium body, less carbonation, and a stronger aroma. Otherwise, a very good Schwartzbier.

Canned 9/08/20
Pours a large off-white frothy creamy almost 2 finger head with moderate retention, nice layered lacing, semi clear mahogany-chestnut-brown color
Nose brings some sweet malts, toasted and roasted but not burnt and not really any coffee, a little chocolate and chocolate pastry, touch of nougat and spice, nice roast
Taste rich dark malts, a little biscuity toasted malt with more roast, a little chocolate and chocolate filling, a bit of coffee this time, roast hints at acrid burnt roast but stays short, more baking spice notes as well, a bit of bitterness from the roast and mild spicy hops, hint of a fruity note, drier finish with a bit more bitterness bordering med,
Mouth is med to lighter bod, soft lager, med-higher frothy carb
Overall not bad, would have liked a bit more malt-forward flavors, but otherwise a nice Schwarz
