German means “black.” Schwarzbier is a dark German lager that has bittersweet, dark chocolate notes in addition to the typical roasted malt flavors you would find in a dark lager. These beers are typically darker, more robust, and less delicate than their Munchener dunkel cousins.

Schwarzbier ("shvahrts-beer"), is simply German for black beer. It doesn?t mean that it?s necessarily heavy or light in body, although they tend to lean towards light. Unlike other dark beers, like porters or stouts, they are not overly bitter with burnt and roasted malt characteristics that the others tend to depend on. Instead, hops are used for a good portion of the bitterness. Very refreshing and soul lifting beers, they also make a great alternative for the Winter. Especially when you are looking for a lighter beer, but one with depth of colour and taste.
