Notes

Great tasting beer! Both on nose and flavor, you get a touch of the roasty, dark flavors typical of porter or stout, with a clean easy lager finish. As of 1/12/22, getting some pretty decent chocolate and coffee on the nose. The yeast did not attenuate as far as I'd hoped. It stopped at 1.018 FG. The Schwarzbier BJCP guidelines states that it should not taste like a porter or stout fermented with lager yeast. When compared with the popular Kostritzer Schwarzbier, it's evident that the roasted grains were a bit too much. Not significantly, but enough where I didn't even bother putting this into a comp. I'd either reduce the roasted grains by 10% next time or experiment with adding them late in the mash.

Update 04/07/2022

Well, while we thought this wasn't going to do well, we put it into a competition anyway. Pulled off a silver medal in the 2022 Reggale and Dredhop competition! Score Sheet is in the photos.
