Schwanenbräu Lagerbier Dunkel

Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

500 ml bottle bought at the brewery. Poured in the original Schwanen Pokal an unfiltered hazy orange-brown colored beer with a three fingers slight beige foamy head that had a long retention and at the end falled in one moment. Low carbonation. Good lacing. The aroma is sweet caramel malts and bready. The flavour is caramel malts, a roasted note, molasses, grassy hops. The mouthfeel is fizzy, sparkling and round. This light to medium bodied beer has a sweet and bitter finish. A Lager with charakter. It seems to have more power ( % alc. ) as it has in fact.

Fränken Bierausflug, Day#2, Brewery#7, Beer#12. Vom Faß at the brewery tap restaurant on the marketplace square in beautiful downtown Ebermannstadt. A deep, bright copper color, perfectly clear, with a dense off-white head. Aromas of sweet roasted malt, but light and reserved. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel with a bitter edge. Full-bodied and rich. Flavors of toasted malt, light toffee, and a long bitter-sweet finish. Clean, soft, and sophisticated, like the surroundings in which it is served; great atmosphere, food, and presentation - with only the incessant American pop background music out of place.
