Dave's BrewFarm Schwarzenheimer
Schwarzenheimer. Dave's BrewFarm. Growler purchased about 12 days ago, held up terrifically.
Appearance: solid black, under a hefty cap of cocoa-tan head. Looks great.
Aromatics: big roasted malt, minor hops, a little bit of cocoa and coffee. Nice.
Taste: full bodied, full flavored, rich, warm, malty, chocolatey, and, let us not forget, yum. Delicious.
I didn't have a lot to say about this one, kept the notes really simple. But, despite that, it is an impressive brew, a Schwarzbier, or black lager, that feels more like a Baltic Porter. Deep, rich, but smooth and supple. Like it lots!
From the Farmer man: "7.9% ABV, 'The Black Pils'. Pilsm Carafa III and Dark Munich malts with Perle and Sterling hops create a dark , crisp, refreshing taste sensation. Don't let the color fool you!"
