About

Schwarzer Abt is a dark lager from Klosterbrauerei Neuzelle, a brewery rooted in the Neuzelle monastery founded in 1589 in Brandenburg, Germany. This Schwarzbier is brewed following a centuries-old recipe originally created by monks. The beer offers a full, creamy texture and deep black colour from roasted malts. Aromas and flavours centre on dark malt, coffee, and chocolate, with subtle caramel undertones and a light fruity note of apple. The finish is dry with a gentle hop bitterness. At 3.9% ABV, this is an approachable, sweet Schwarzbier that balances roasted character with smoothness—a classic German take on the style.
