Style: Schwarzbier
| Style Information |
| Schwarzbier is a German style of "black beer" that uses lager yeast. The aroma and taste usually include subtle hints chocolate or coffee. The feel should be somewhat thin. ABV should be in the lower range around 3% to 6%. From Wikipedia: "Schwarzbier, or 'black beer', is a German dark lager beer. It has an opaque, black color and a full, chocolatey or coffee flavor. Although they share some similar flavors, they are milder tasting and less bitter than British stouts or porters, owing to the use of lager rather than ale yeast and no roasted barley." |
