First off, I have to say thanks to my brother for not liking "dark beer" and giving me this. This review is taken from notes and won't be too detailed. It is a super dark black; no hue. Hardly any head was produced and what did surface drained just as fast. Aroma is a very overpowering richness. A very full, chocolatey hit to the nose. Very sharp malt, almost to the hint of licorice. Not too roasty. Sweet caramel.
Hits the mouth a tad on the dry side and super roasty. Malt is primarily dominated with rich caramel and smooth chocolate. Hints of burnt malt. Definitely a noticeable bitterness with some subtle herbal, spice hop flavors. Very clean aftertaste; nothing lingers. Strong carbonation helps to lift and carry the light body.
Pretty spot on for the style. Can't say I've had a lot of Schwarzbier, but this seems pretty impressive from what I do know. Would drink again (and again and again).
