Bottle. My brother Rick gave me this along with some other Barley Creek Beers. Pours a see through dark brown with a decent head that doesn’t last long. Nose is roasted barley... almost burnt toast with a bit of vegamite on it. Nice burnt smoky flavor with a harder carbonation than expected but interesting. Body is pretty light. This is a bit like an Altbier that I made about 3 months ago, but with more of a roasted quality. I liked it.

May 27, 2008 On tap at a bar/restaurant near Lake Wallenpaupack, Pennsylvania. Dark brown pour, no head. A malty German beer - I had a little trouble identifying the style. The taste was pretty good - fairly dry and hoppy, but on the thin side.

May 5, 2008 Bottle: The description states that this beer is easy drinking. It wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t as hard as the others in the case. There were brief flavors of coffee and chocolate but they were gone quickly. Overall, best beer in the case..but that’s not saying much.

Mar 31, 2008 1st Schwarzbier, Initially the aroma is malty, with some albeit mild hops. Its appearance is trully black, but not motor oil. It’s flavor is a very clean with some roasty malt & hops as well. Its extremely smooth. I could drink this, but its sort of like a porter without the hutzpah. Sort of ordinary. Not entirely sure I’m tasting everything this hopes for.

Feb 2, 2008 This tastes more like a flemish sour, but when thats not on purpose, thats a problem. I think, like many others have said, this turned. Not horrible, but this is odd and wrong. No real hops or anything. Just sour.

Jan 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark with little head. Had a pretty mellow taste with a bit of chocolate. Not the best black lager I’ve had, but ot bad.
