Einsiedler Schwarzbier

Tap to rate

Roasted malt and a hint of chocolate on the nose, a velvety soft body and fine roasted-malt aromas: Einsiedler Schwarzbier shimmers silky black. It is brewed from carefully selected barley malt with water from the brewery's own well, at 5.0% ABV and 25 IBU, in the Einsiedel brewhouse of 1907, which still brews today.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced roasted malt character, layered with subtle chocolate undertones and hints of coffee. There is no aggressive hop bite—instead, a clean, restrained noble-hop presence allows the carefully selected barley malz to dominate. The overall impression is warm, toasted, and inviting without any rough edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and velvety, with a creamy mouthfeel that belies the low body. Roasted malt flavors anchor the mid-palate, accompanied by gentle chocolate and coffee nuances, while a modest 25 IBU bitterness provides structure without harshness. The finish remains clean and slightly crisp, allowing the roasted character to linger gracefully.
