King River Brewing Helmut Schwarzbier

When it comes to brewing classic styles, King River Brewing’s Nathan Munt tends to do them with precision. That’s certainly the case with Helmut Schwarzbier, a dark lager that pours jet black with a slightly red hue.

Largely it’s one that hits with rich coffee and bitter chocolate flavours but let it warm up a little and you’ll be treated to a bready sweetness that balances out those roasted notes. While it all might make this beer sound like a stout or porter, with a clean and quite sudden finish, drink it and you’ll find yourself in crisper world of lagers.
