Schwarzbier (Black Beer) 5 º 30 IBU

Störtebeker Braumanufaktur

Störtebeker Schwarzbier is a sophisticated Dark European Lager that balances deep roasted complexity with the crisp drinkability of a bottom-fermented beer. Brewed with a blend of Pilsener Malts, Caramel, and Dark Roasted malts, it presents an elegant profile of roasted coffee and dark chocolate. The use of Perle hops introduces a subtle herbal aroma that complements the malty sweetness of toffee and hazelnuts. Despite its opaque appearance, the long, cold fermentation ensures a silky-smooth mouthfeel and a clean, dry finish that avoids any burnt harshness. It is a refined expression of the classic Schwarzbier style, blending rustic depth with seaside refreshment.

Appearance. Very dark brown to opaque black with distinct ruby highlights when held to the light. It pours with a persistent, creamy, beige-colored head that exhibits good retention and fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring rich notes of roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate derived from the dark malts. Subtle herbal and spicy accents from Perle hops are present, supported by a faint bready malt sweetness and a clean, neutral lager yeast character.

Taste. Initial impressions of bitter chocolate and toasted bread lead into a more complex mid-palate of toffee, praline, and walnuts. A medium-low hop bitterness provides balance to the malt-forward profile. The finish is remarkably clean and dry, leaving a lingering, subtle coffee aftertaste without any acrid, burnt, or harsh roasted qualities.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with a velvety, smooth, and almost creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing a gentle prickle on the tongue, while the lack of astringency ensures high drinkability. No perceptible alcohol warmth.
