Schwarzbier or Black Lager is essentially a black pilsner lager. Light and easy drinking but moonless midnight black in color with a dark cream foam. A beer that drinks with a subtle blend of milk/dark chocolate and an aftertaste of high quality cold brew coffee. Round and smooth with gentle mid palate bitterness.

German-Style Schwarzbier
Black as a stout, light as a lager. Thuringian brewers worked out how to get roast without weight — the color runs all the way to the edge of the glass, and the finish is dry and quick.
