The recipe for this beer was inspired by a visit to a small brewery in Germany (Brauerei Wippra). They brew an excellent Schwarzbier that even too silver one year at the GABF. For this Schwarzbier 3 different malts are used: Pilsner, Munich and a dark Crystal malt. Due to the lack of roasted malt there is no roast flavor in that beer.
Since I do like at least some roast in a Schwarzbier, I added Carafa Special to my recipe. The result was a very smooth drinking beer with a hint of roast, a deep black color with some ruby highlights.
