Krombacher Darkwww.krombacher.com
The Krombacher brewery was founded in 1803, in Kreuztal-Krombach, Germany. They have one of the most modern breweries in Germany now. They brew their beers according to the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516, stating only barley, hops, yeast and water may be used to brew beer. This is their darkest offering and is touted to be a very complex beer.
It has a deep black colour with a cream coloured foamy head, with good retention that clings to the side of the glass.
It has a nice aroma, floral notes of the hops taking over with roasty and malty undertones.
The roasted malt flavours start off big and gradually fade away leaving the bitterness of the hops to linger, with a little of the roasted flavour coming back at the very end to lightly linger on the tongue.
This is a very nice dark beer, more complex in flavour than a lot of the other German imports. It is full flavoured and complex, but drinks light enough that it can be enjoyed anytime. It will pair well with Bavarian fare and pub fare.
