Bräunlinger Löwenbräu Black Lion - Baaremer Schwarzbier
Schwarzbier (Black Beer) 4.9 º
This refined Schwarzbier, the Black Lion, presents a sophisticated sensory profile driven by a complex blend of eight malts. It balances the drinkability of a dark German lager with an unexpectedly rich depth. The nose is greeted by high-intensity aromas of moccachino and bittersweet chocolate, derived from the expert use of intensely roasted barley malts. On the palate, it delivers a creamy yet crisp experience, where three hop varieties provide a subtle herbal counterpoint to the roasted bitterness. It finishes clean and dry, embodying the traditional balance of the style while offering a decadent, coffee-forward character without any burnt astringency.
Appearance. Deep mahogany to very dark brown (25–30 SRM) with brilliant clarity and distinct ruby highlights. Crowned by a large, persistent, tan-colored head with fine lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity of dark roasted grain, specifically highlighting notes of moccachino and dark chocolate. Supporting this is a clean, bready malt richness and a low, spicy floral hop presence. Fermentation is clean with no esters.
Taste. Initial flavors of bitter chocolate and roasted coffee beans transition into a moderately rich, bready malt mid-palate. Hop bitterness is medium-low, providing just enough structure to balance the roast. The finish is notably dry and clean, leaving a lingering, subtle aftertaste of dark cocoa and herbal hops without any harsh, burnt acridity.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a surprisingly creamy texture that enhances the chocolate notes. Carbonation is moderate to moderately high, providing a crispness that ensures high drinkability. Smooth overall, with zero astringency from the dark malts.
