Schwarzbier·United States·5% ABV·One of 85 Schwarzbiers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Summit Black's roasted and malty character. A dark mahogany Schwarzbier with complex malt aromas, then delicate roasty malt notes reminiscent of toasted bread crusts, with hints of cocoa and grain. Summit calls it a German-style dark lager: light-bodied, clean and crisp, with a snappy finish. It debuted on tap in the Ratskeller taproom and was named the Brewer's Choice beer in a Summit variety pack.
