Kohlentrimmer

Tap to rate

Kohlentrimmer has a full, strong maltiness and still lies light and soft on the tongue. Its very moderate bitterness comes with coffee and bitter-chocolate aromas and subtle roasted notes. Munich malt as well as British black and chocolate malts are clearly there in the taste. In the finish, a sweetish malt body meets a fine, slightly spicy hop aroma and a light, lingering hop note. A 5.3% Schwarzbier with Saaz.
