    I don't know if it's anything like El Inca, but here's a Schwarzbier I made recently that was delicious. It's very dark, but is super malty, light, and delicious. It's loosely based on Jamil's Oktoberfest recipe. If you want a little drier, I'd drop the Caramunich and substitute more Vienna or Munich. It's like a cross between a Vienna lager and a dry stout , and is extremely drinkable without any extended lagering time. (Since it's so dark, you can't really tell whether or not it's clear. :D ) I might have to make this again soon...

    4 gallon batch, 3.5 gallons into fermenter (so scale accordingly if desired - I made this as a "starter" for a 5-gallon batch of Oktoberfest).

    1.046 OG, 1.012 FG. 28 IBU.

    Grain Bill (82% Efficiency):
    3.25 lb Durst Vienna
    2lb Durst Pils
    12oz Durst Dark Munich (15L)
    4oz Caramunich
    4oz Carafa Special II
    2oz Midnight Wheat
    1oz Acid Malt for ph adjustment

    Hops:
    .5oz Perle 8.6%AA @60
    1oz Hallertau @10

    Other:
    .5 Whirlfloc tablet @10 minutes

    Yeast:
    1 vial of WLP833 German Bock Lager Yeast.

    Mashed at 148. Temp dropped to 144 over 75 minutes. (This was not intentional, it took longer than expected to heat my sparge water.)
    75 Minute boil.

    Pitched yeast at 7.5C, raised to 12.5C over 2 days, left for 10 more days at that temperature. Raised to 62 degrees for 11 days, kegged and carbonated.
