COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
We craft our S1NIST0R BLACK ALE using a special German dehusked black malt that is free of astringency, giving the beer a rich black color without the traditional dark beer characteristics. You will notice subtle hints of chocolate with an easy drinking balance on the back end. In the glass the dark color may look intimidating to some, but don’t let this beer fool you. Our unique combination of malts creates a very light body and smooth finish.

Bomber. Dark brown to black. A little flat. Little to no aroma. Decent beer but nothing to get excited about.

Syzzer (215) - Oregon, USA - FEB 3, 2012
This Ale is considered a Schwarzbier (which is typically a lager). It seems like they took a formula for stout or porter and decreased the original gravity. This is a light tasting beer, for how high the SRM is. Quickly dissipating head, as well as the flavor. The flavor is slightly sour. There is a light burnt flavor, watery finish with tinge of bitter.

5000 (3998) - Hardened Liver, Washington, USA - NOV 27, 2011
Bottle:   Deep brown, nearly black, moderate sudsy off white head, spotty lacing.   Roasted malt nose, pale apple skin, a little lactose.   Similar on the tongue, a bit spritzy.   Straight forward, but average in my book.   Moderate body and mouthfeel.   Fairly solid, but very average.

(22oz bomber thanks to bu11zeye) clear ruby-brown with soapy cream-colored fine bubbled head. Nose of chocolate malt, touch of smoke, and gingerbread. Taste of anise, Belgian yeast, spicy, chocolate. Creamy linger, medium carbonation.

Bottle with Carla. Pours very dark brown with frothy tan foam. Smells sweet and roasty of chocolate and caramel. Tastes sweet and toasty, with hints of caramel and coffee. Has a lightly thickened body.

jrallen34 (3421) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - SEP 9, 2011
bottle... dark brown with lots of amber, a light watery off white head... weak nose, a bit of chocolate with prunes a bit of roast... has some decent flavor but just boring, light char with chocolate a bit chalk but easy to drink

beersearcher (1357) - Glendale, California, USA - SEP 7, 2011
Pours brown/black with a nice head and a good amount of lacing. Sort of a chocolate ice cream aroma. Smooth and also very dry. No big coffee or chocolate taste. Just a solid roasted ale.
