albert_007 (405), Penobsquis, New Brunswick, Canada May 3, 2008 Bottle. Nearly black dark brown color with small, tan-colored head and some thick lacing. Aromas of mild hops, tangy molasses and toast. Feels very nice on the tongue leaving a nice smoky aftertaste. Slightly warming due to the extra alcohol. Very nice. HogTownHarry (3028), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Apr 14, 2008 Bottle (500ml). Shared with garthicus, bottle courtesy of tupalev. Black-ruby pour, solid tan head. Milky, deep roast aroma - coffee and dark chocolate - with herbal/mint hop bitteness, some light molasses. Taste - drier, more cocoa and dry bitterness, hint of tart persimmon. Fairly thick and silky mouthfeel, lightly astringent, long deep roast bitter-smooth finish. Solid, excellent schwarz. Thanks, Jeff! garthicus (464), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Apr 14, 2008 Shared with HogTownHarry - Harrys bottle, thanks!: Jet black/brown - tiny caramel coloured head. Tan leather, shoe polish aroma, spicy too, some dark fruit. Flavour: Smooth as silk, spicy, milky too, such flavour, zero alcohol burn, so well hidden. Just a super little beer and only my second Schwarbier. Mmmmm Hop_Devil (16), Canada Apr 8, 2008 Very unique beer, dark brown with a small head. Carbonation is low, creamy mouthfeel, really smooth. Smoke, chocolate, licorice, warming alcohol and a little coffee. Phenomenal beer all around, thumbs up on this one. goldtwins (3559), Nesconset, New York, USA Apr 7, 2008 Poured a dark brown color with a beige head. The aroma was of roasted malt, chocolate and mild smoke. The aroma blended well. The flavor was of roasted malt and less complex. Semi-dry finish with a mild bitterness.
