hopIQ found 10 beers that share Schwarzer Schwan's roasted and malty character. Schwarzer Schwan is a dark bock with a spicy taste, brewed stronger for the colder season at 7.0 % ABV. Roasted barley malt gives it its dark colour, and Hallertauer Perle and Spalter Select supply the hops. It is bottom-fermented and, like the Heller Bock, a seasonal release from the brewery.
