Town Hall Bavarian Express Schwarzbier

Town Hall Bavarian Express Schwarzbier. 5.2% ABV. German black lager.

Dark brown, nearly black coloring, slim brown head.

In the nose: cocoa first, then coffee. Dark malts, little hops.

In the mouth: all the dark malt flavors: we've got cocoa and coffee, some ash, and anise. Lightly bittersweet. Tasty. Nice dark malts, nice flavors, good drinkability. Has everything I want in the flavor department. Bitterness remains there, but lightly, and the flavor is largely malt-derived.

I love a good schwarzbier, and this is one of them.
