Oh the schwarzbier… This is an under appreciated style that I happen to love. Roasted malts, even a bit of chocolate and hazelnut – really smooth and delicious. Plus it’s in a swing top bottle and you know how that gets me all excited. It doesn’t take much.
Brewed by the folks over at Kulmbacher Brauerei in Germany (they also brew EKU and a bunch of other German beers – you can check the list on this real beer site) this is a beer and a style that I would love to see more of. A quite poundable session beer at just under 5%, if it weren’t so pricey it would be a slam dunk.
Overall, damn good – Believe in the Schwarz.

You vill drink dis beer and you vil like it. Alright my German accent sucks. Especially via text. Know what doesn’t suck? The Monchshof Kellerbier I tried the other night. From the killer flip top bottle (love these things) to the fact that the folks at the M&D served this up in the correct glass – it was nearly the epitome of packaging.
But it didn’t stop there. I am not too familiar with the Kellerbier style and this was not at all what I expected from what was described to me simply as a “Lager”. It was malty and delicious. Plus there were 16.9 ounces of this goodness packed in there. Bonus.
Smooth, easy to drink and I would guess low in alcohol, although I don’t recall looking to see and can’t find anything about it on the big guys sites. Either way, it certainly drank like it was all kinds of poundable and left a delicious taste with me that made me remember her name in the morning. For just seven bucks, this was a find. I hope to see her again sometime. Das Good!
