black beer
Ebony-colored ale variant
Black beer is a dark lager with origins in Germany, where it's called Schwarzbier.
The color comes from roasted malts, giving it a deep brown to black appearance while maintaining a lighter body than stouts or porters.
The flavor tends toward mild chocolate or coffee notes without heavy bitterness: I ordered a black beer to go with the bratwurst.
