This has to be one of my favourite beers, not cause it looks like a stout , but because it is full of flavour. Schwarzbier basically means black beer. There is evidence that points to a similar evolution to a dunkel, yes they are both a dark or black lager but the characteristics of the Schwarzbier is more in line of an English Porter. In a glass, Schwarzbier looks much like a British dark ale, but looks can be deceiving. Schwarzbier, unlike a British ale, has a clean lager taste that leaves next to no perception of fruitiness on the palate. Instead, Schwarzbier produces very mild, almost bittersweet, notes of chocolate, coffee, and vanilla. This week on the podcast I'll be talking about this great beer! https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/1001722/may-the-schwarz-be-with-you https://escarpmentlabs.com/collections/homebrew/products/biergarten-lager-homebrew
