Beer Profile

Schwarzbier

Schwarzbier is a dark lager that balances smooth maltiness with subtle roasted notes. It pours a deep brown to nearly black color with a moderate tan head. The aroma features hints of chocolate, caramel, and light coffee, without the heaviness of stouts. On the palate, it offers a clean, crisp lager base complemented by gentle roast flavors and a restrained bitterness. Its medium body and smooth mouthfeel make it approachable, while the finish remains dry and refreshing. This seasonal release captures the essence of winter with a nuanced dark character balanced by lager crispness.
