Description
I recently changed this recipe to drop the smoked malt component to 8% from 12%, and I like it even better than the last version. I think I'm back in real Schwarzbier territory now, especially after reading more about the dark beers of old Eastern Europe. The beer's aroma is malty/espresso, with a hint of smoke. On the palate, malt, chocolate and espresso flavors take center stage, along with a hint of smoke. The sweet smokiness just offsets the more bitter/roasty notes, producing a smooth, rich brew. The hops provide balance, but virtually nothing to the aroma. This is the perfect beer to serve with a barbecued steak or tri-tip. It's also excellent with just about any chocolate dessert!
