  • With the odd weather that one day is bone cold and the next summer warm, I needed to find a beer that suited this unpredictable weather. Kamziner Schwarz Weizen was my answer.

    This black wheat beer combines the best of both worlds. It has the light body and refreshing feel of a wheat beer but the taste of a porter with stoutly undertones.

    The idea for Dunkelweizen’s originated in Germany “Like a Hefeweizen, Dunkelweizen is made from a mixed mash of wheat and barley malts, but unlike a Weissbier, it also contains a large array of lightly to thoroughly caramelized or roasted malts that give it both its color and its complexity.” According to GermanyBeerInstiiute.com
    KSW didn’t fall far from that description. The head on this beer was strong and creamy like a stout and the aroma was heavy of coffee. But once I began drinking it I felt light I was drinking a “stout light”.

    The body was a creamy highbred of a light beer and a stout. The color was murky from it unfiltered brewing process.

    I also mixed the beer with a lighter gold lager in about a 40/60 (KSW/Golden Lager) ratio. The mix took out a bit of the stout taste and mellowed the beer nicely. In all it was a good beer if you like dark or wheat brews, give it a try its quite tasty.
