Jun 21, 2008 Updated: Jun 23, 2008Pours a nice dark brown with a thick creamy tan head that keeps a thin cap.
Aroma is coffee, nutty roast malt. light chocolate.
Nice roast malt sweetness and a little smokiness in the flavour, slight bitterness balances out the finish.
Very drinkable.
At first I was pissed about four packs. I didn’t realize till I got home that they were 16 oz bottles.

Mar 27, 2009 12 oz bottle from awiseman01. Pours a deep brown black with a bubbly light tan head. Aromas of malts mainly, light coffee.
Flavors have some nice chocolate tones that go back and forth to coffee. A creamy milk chocolate. Full malt backing adds to the complexity.
Mouth is nicely carbinated with a medium to full mouth. Medium length sticky finish. Mild bitterness. Great schwarzbier. Plenty of full flavor.

Oct 1, 2004 extremely dark with a lovely dark tan head. lots of carbonation, too much carbonation i think. plenty of coffee and dark malts, some smoke. burnt/caramelized candy, good rich thick malt presence and a touch of bitterness to finish. excellent!

Oct 21, 2001 Finally found a store in Michigan that stocks Wisconsin micros (Oliver T’s in Grand Blanc). As a result, I can rate beers that my palate only distantly remembers from the years I lived in Dairyland. This is the main treat, a rich malty brew with a smoky edge. It fades to sweerness as you go , and that to me, is a bit of a drawback, but it’s a hell of a beer.

Jun 25, 2002 Has a mild, malty aroma wafting off its pitch black body. Flavor is light but complex, dominated by roasty, chocolatey malt flavors and the flavors of good pumpernickel bread.

Dec 20, 2007 Poured from a 16oz bottle and served in a shaker. This beer poured a rich black color with some mahogany highlights around the edges of the glass. A one-finger thick head of tan foam faded into a thin layer of small, lasting bubbles. No lace. The aroma of this beer was made up of rich caramel notes, chocolate, and a light smokiness. The flavor consisted of an abundance of balanced malts. Notes of chocolate, coffee, and caramel all intertwined seemlessly with a hint of dark fruit sneaking in towards the end. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with light carbonation. The flavor of this beer was exceptionally balanced and smooth, making it a great session choice. Well done!
