In my ne k of the woods, Niagara Falls Canada, my absolute favorite beer is from a local craft brew house in Niagara on the Lake. The company's name is Silversmith. Theyre Flag Ship brew is a Black Lager. It looks ans smells like a stout. It's amazing. I would love to recreate it some who. Anyone have any thoughts on how this could be done at home with a extract? Just making the brew close would be amazing. Here's what they've written on their website?
BLACK LAGER
Introducing our German style Black Lager {Schwarzbier} that will teach anyone to speak the language of great beer. Brewed in Niagara using classic East German black lager recipes dating back to the late 1300s this local lager is simply a reminder of what good enjoyable beer should taste like.
Beer:LagerAppearance:BlackSize:650mL bottles, kegs, imperial pints
Availability:Our staple, always availableShelf Life:Alc./Vol.:5%Brewers
Notes:This lager, with its strong dark malty character, is described as having the appearance of a stout, yet giving you a refreshing crisp clean finish. Can you say lecker?
Tasting Notes:To brew this beer of the people, we used typical American 6 row lager malt in conjunction with smaller amounts of extremely dark roasted German malt which gives the beer its black character. In addition, Munich malt was used to provide the beer with its unique balanced flavour. We used Northern Brewer hops to achieve a bitterness level typical of a European lager and added the noble Saaz hop which can be noted in the mild yet distinct aroma of the beer.
