Batch 102 Schwartzbier tasting notes

Cold

Pours opaque black, orange brown at edges, very clear, nice manageable tan head that drops back, stays around rim

Aroma roast malt, balanced off curry/spicy hops

Mouthfeel light roast malt coating, but light body and cleans up well

Flavor roast bitterness without astringency, hop bitterness meets it for nice balance, not really malty at all.

Finish, clears with roast note, then hop bitterness lingers beyond.

Overall, best roasty beer yet, flavorful yet refreshing, could bring forward malt flavor and drop back on dark malt.  Could increase sweetness, but hop level correct.
