St.Arnold has announced Santo, a new brew to be released September 1.
Anyone have thoughts/opinions on black Kölsch? I'm not familiar, but I enjoy St. Arnold. What say ye, OT?

The first batch was brewed yesterday and is busy fermenting. The style is a black Kölsch. Don't be disturbed if you aren't familiar with this style. We weren't either before we came up with it. More details to follow.

Sounds phenomenal. Just finished drinking a Weedwacker.

Been digging black beers recently. I'll be sure to try some of this too.

RIght now they have the Christmas release out for the summer, while it lasts.
They do their Lawnmower and Weedwacker with Bavarian hefeweizen yeast instead of kölsch yeast. Looking forward to the release.

Weird since kolsch isn't supposed to be dark. It should be interesting and I applaud them at trying something different. They are supposed to be bottling their pumpkin divine reserve also sometime soon (DR#8 I think it was).

I think it will be interesting to try, but sounds gimmicky. I can't really think of how this will be very good, as Kolsch as a style is very light tasting. Any roastiness would be weird. They would have to use Sinimar to color it to prevent roastiness.

Schwarzbier. Sounds a lot like it.....
Sam Adams makes a Schwarzbier, but they call it their black lager:
Shiner makes a black lager which looks to be somewhere in between styles of either schwarzbier or American black lager:

When one sees a beer with a darker complexion these days, more often than not it’s a porter or a stout. But looks can be deceiving. There exists a style older than both and generally less well known; the schwarzbier, which literally translates to “Black Beer.” Unlike its dark cousins which are ales hailing from Britain, schwarzbier comes from Germany and uses a bottom fermenting lager yeast. Samuel Adams Black Lager is brewed in the tradition of the latter. A medium bodied beer brewed using several different roasts of malt to create a smooth body and depth of malt character that has to be tasted to be believed.

Bohemian Black Lager, crafted according to exacting old-world standards with imported Czech Saaz, Styrians Hops and selected roasted malts, is the darkest beer we brew. Initially added to the Shiner family as our 97 Anniversary Brew, the unique and complex flavor of this rare brew found such a following among our customers that we brought it back for good!
