OVERVIEW
Beer Type
Schwarzbier is “black beer,” and indeed this German Lager style is generally very dark brown to almost black in color. But Schwarzbier’s hue may deceive the uninitiated, as it is a light- to medium-bodied lager, unlike most very dark and heavy ales, such as porters and stouts. A refreshing dark beer with smooth character and relatively low alcohol, Schwarzbier delivers malty aromas and flavors of chocolaty-caramel sweetness with hints of coffee. Roasty notes and mild Noble hops keep the sweetness in check. Schwarzbier’s very dark color and generally dry finish distinguish it from Munich Dunkel Lager.
Category
Lagers represent some of the most approachable, easy-drinking beer styles available, which contributes to Lager’s consumption edge over ale, despite the fact that ale styles are more numerous and were consumed thousands of years before lagering and cold-aging took hold.
