Faust Schwarzviertler
Brewery: Faust
Town: Miltenberg
Style: Dunkles/Schwarzbier
Color: light brown
Head: ample, off-white
Nose: malt, slight roast
Body: medium
Palate: malty, slight roast, some chocolate
Finish: could be drier
Served: on tap at the brewery
Impression: I wasn’t impressed with the beers at Faust but this cross between a Schwarzbier and Dunkles was probably the best of the lot. It sure looked great and though it had some roast and chocolate notes, they seemed a bit buried beneath what was mostly a malty palate. It could have used some hops to dry it out as the finish was uncertain.
Next beer or back to the beer list.

I'm an American living in Munich and Bamberg. Why? Well, I came for the beer but stayed for the girl. I'm very happily married to a German woman. Of course, the bonus of great beer certainly doesn't hurt. An avid love of hiking and finding new beers has led me to found Beerwanderers, an information resource on beer hiking trails in Franconia with an emphasis on Franconian food specialties and the endless variety of amazing beer the region is renowned for. I also published my first book Beer Hiking Bavaria which features 50 beer hikes in Bavaria and lead beer hiking experiences for those who love beer & nature. View all posts by beerwanderers
