The beer of choice in this time-machine was Märkischer Landmann, a Schwarzbier much like Köstritzer and others from eastern areas of Germany. Deep and rich, I think I may have liked it even better than Köstritzer. It has more robust burnt notes to it, and as it warms up -- these things are usually served too cold, I think -- some dried black cherry and raisiny flavours emerge.
A lovely location and a lovely beer with old friends.
Like the sound of that, burnt with cherries.
