St. Afra Schwarz
Spicy roast aromas rise from this deep mahogany, red-shimmering beer and mingle with the scent of brewed coffee. A gently sparkling Schwarzbier, it recalls espresso, rounded off by roasted and licorice notes, under a creamy beige head. It is made from water, barley malt and hops, with 11.7% original gravity and 4.9% ABV, and is recommended at 7–8 °C.
