🌍 Germany · Schwarzbier · One of 57 Schwarzbiers in hopIQ

Hütt Schwarzes Gold is the dark lager of the Hütt range, which the brewery describes as velvety brown and crisply bitter, with a full body, fine carbonation and a malt-aromatic note. Tasters add caramel and toffee, a light touch of roast and coffee and a dry, gently bitter finish. It is poured on draught at the Brauhaus Knallhütte, at the Brauhaus Zum Rammelsberg and in other pubs around Kassel, and since late 2025 it has been produced at Rheder in Brakel.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced malt character—caramel and toffee sweetness balanced by a subtle roast note reminiscent of coffee and cocoa. A restrained, noble hop aroma provides a gentle spicy backdrop without overwhelming the malt-driven profile.

◐ Taste

The palate is full and velvety, with malt sweetness upfront transitioning into a measured bitterness that's clean and crisp rather than aggressive. The 25 IBU strike a harmonious balance—enough to cut through the richness without dominating, leaving a dry, gently bitter impression on the mid-palate.
