473ml can - it's sad that a craft brewery in 2018 feels the need to put 'German Black Lager' on their Schwarzbier's label.
This beer pours a clear, dark orange-brick highlighted brown colour, with two fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and faintly bubbly tan head, which leaves some waves crashing on a rocky shoreline profile lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of gently toasted grainy and bready cereal malt, a lesser crackery wheatiness, bittersweet cocoa powder, some generic nuttiness, and very tame earthy, musty, and floral noble hops. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, wet Wheat Thins, dry chocolate, some free-range ashiness, oily bar-top nuts, weak day-old coffee grounds, and more well-understated earthy, herbal, and floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly meek in its innocuous-seeming frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and mostly smooth, with just a touch of wispy smoke maybe playing the role of the proverbial pea at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the malt facing a stoic lingering ashen character.
Overall - this comes across as a rather competently rendered version of the style, nice and malty, with a few other minor flavours that generally balance everything out. A pleasant tipple on another snowy November day.
