Joel Reuben's favorite beer is New Belgium 1554; this is my shot at a dark schwartzbier.
From New Belgium's web site for 1554; ABV 5.6%; IBU 21; YEAST Lager Yeast; CALORIES 198; HOPS Nugget; MALTS Pale, Carapils, Black, Munich, Chocolate; VISUAL Brilliant/clear, mahogany; AROMA Slightly fruity, herbal, spicy, rooty, coffee, chocolate, toffee; FLAVOR Starts bitter chocolate with bright acidity, roasty and toasty, sweetness to round it out sweet/spicy, rooty, peppery undertones, lingering fruit acidity; MOUTHFEEL Due to the lager yeast ferm at high temps and the chocolate and black malt- this beer starts and finishes dry yet the middle is round and malt rich. session!; BODY Light - Medium
