While putting up a post about Hofbrauhaus Wolters black beer of Braunschweig, I came across this entry from Beer Advocate.com.

"Best before 10/24/2021 - poured from a tall-boy can into my Ayinger Celebrator pokal.
Clear caput mortuum body supports a thin wheat head. Fine lacing, faint tears, average retention.
Brown bread, faint toast, and a hint of ceylon tea in the nose.
Sweet, malty palate entry. Mild grassy/grainy bitterness. Dry, vaguely metallic finish.
Light bodied, moderately carbonated, with low ABV.
Easy drinking, albeit somewhat mediocre overall".
This week I picked up a tall can of Wolters Black and tried it out. I am not normally a dark beer drinker, but I wanted to try it anyway. Without going into all the above rigamarole, I found it to have a nice, clean taste. I did not detect any ceylon tea. I'll stop right there.
Of course, you don't have to be a connoisseur to know that the glass is important. For example, I tried pouring a Grevensteiner Landbier (Veltins Brewery) from the can into a German Weissbier glass (Paulaner) I bought this week. The results were not as good as when I use my plastic half-liter Steeler mug which I keep in the fridge.
As always, I add that these are imported German beers. In this case, I purchased them at Total Wines and More.
