Altenberger Brauhaus Schwarzbier

Altenberger Brauhaus Schwarzbier is one gorgeous example of the style, nearly black with a rocky tan head and roasty nose. It’s both balanced and supremely dry with a light bitter roast that is surprisingly enticing. The lingering finish is again quite dry but not overly bitter. Worth the trip in itself.
