Silversmith Black Lager

Looking like cola with a dark brown colour, a big frothy beige head that lasts a while, giving some nice creamy lacing. Nice aromas of roasted malts, chocolate notes, molasses hints and dark fruits. The taste is also roasted malts, mostly. Mild coffee and nuttiness. Very easy to drink like a Schwarzbier should be. Quite a nice one.

Had on tap at the Monks Kettle a couple of days ago. Pours a Dark brown with an excellent head, retention and lacing. Roasted malt aroma. Sweet roasted malt flavour with a slightly bitter chocolate finish. Medium body.Good beer for this style.

The beer was poured a solid blackish-brown with a creamy light brown head which shrank to a ring. The aroma was roasted malt, coffee, and vanilla. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was roasted malt, coffee, and some sweet notes. Not as dry and bitter as a Kostritzer, and quite tasty.

On tap @ Gigs: Dark brown with some ruby highlights, 2 finger cap, laces the glass. Aroma is roasty but demure with some twiggy hop tones. Flavour has a tarditional Thuringa Schwartzbier profile - roasty up front, light bodied, noble hops bite, finish is clean, roasty and crisp. A very good rendition of the style, light, roasty, dry - Kostritzer couldn’t do better.
