The Bottom Line

There are Black Beers then there are Schwarzbeirs. There are many great breweries all over the world but if you want good lagers, you should always start in Germany. Einbecker's Schwarzbeir is an excellent example of why this is true.

Guide Review - Einbecker Schwarzbeir

You know you're in for a treat when you pour this beer. It pours dark brown, not quite black, and clear. A thick, brownish, rocky head builds over the beer. The aroma is rich with sweet malt and some graininess. The mouthfeel is slightly silky. The flavor is like the aroma; full of rich maltiness with just a hint of hops lurking far beneath. It has a dirty finish with just a hint of smokiness. Overall, a great, well-rounded beer.
