BLACK LAGER ~ SILVERSMITH

Sampled on draught this black lager or schwarzbier poured an opaque very dark brown (almost black) with an off white head. The head remained for a short while and then left moderate lacing. The nose was mild and contained dark roasted malts, a light sweetness and coffee. Roasted malts are dominant on the tongue but cacao, dark fruit, and earth hops are also present. The brew is not sweet and has a clean dry finish. The mouthfeel was medium bodied and slightly creamy, and the carbonation was moderate. I would certainly drink this brew again.
