German black lager: as dark as a stout and as light on the tongue as a pilsner, which is the whole trick.
The median is 5.0% ABV. Half of them fall between 4.7% and 5.3%. Measured on 43 of the 59; the rest carry no strength.
Most in one town: Dresden (3), Bamberg (2), Eibau (2).
Oldest with a sourced year: Guinness Black Lager, 2010.
These are facts about this record, not about the world. They are counted from the beers on file, and the atlas is as deep as its sources, which cover modern craft brewing far more closely than anything else. A country at the top of this list is where the most examples have been recorded, which is not the same as where the most are brewed.
