“Black Forest Lager“ Schwarzbier
This beer offers a great clean, slightly roast malt character while not picking up much astringency from the dark malts. This brew was fermented under pressure which enables you to ferment lagers at higher temps and supress the esters you can get sometimes while fermenting lager yeast.
