can. Dark ruby colour, thin head. Aroma is thin, some roast and chocolate. Taste is also thin, almost like the roast flavours are artificial and were added after the fact. Used to think this beer was good in my early drinking days, but now I realize it is average at best.

Schwartzbier made mass marketable. Nice colour, mild dark malt flavor and mild bitterness. Some dark fruit as well. Not bad, but boring.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
473ml can from the LCBO. Pours dark brown with an almost non-existent white head. bit of sweet malt, thin mouthfeel. Does not compare to other schwarzbiers. Overall it’s very underwhelming.

It’s high in carbonation and not bitter like a schwarzbier should be, but there’s not much of anything else going on in this one. My can says it’s from the Waterloo Brewing Co. May have changed names... tall can poured into a glass

Originally rated September 2006. This cheap schwarzbier pours a dark red-brown colour with a good creamy tanned head that has decent retention and nice thick lacing. The carbonation is quite active with tiny bubbles. The scent is mild with malt at first, then turns into a mix of roasted malt and not-so-good sourness. Smooth mouthfeel with a slight crispiness to it. The taste is mild too, with some little molasse very well-hidden and some corn. Overall, it is one of the better brews from Brick Brewing, but for the style, I much prefer the Kostritzer and the Escousse. This is a dark lager to be enjoyed from the bottle.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Can. Reddish dark brown color with small foamy tan head, no specific aroma, slightly sour, stale metallic taste, mild carbonation, abrupt finish. Disappointingly tasteless beer. Though the beer is listed under Brick Brewing Co and found under the website, Waterloo Brewing Co is put on the can as the producer.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
473ml can from the LCBO. Dark brown colour, not much head. Malty taste. Overall it was pretty standard, nothing really remarkable, either good or bad.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Can from the LCBO. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a fine cream head. Sweet malt and a little maple or candy sugar on the nose, rich and dry-fruity on the palate, some nuttiness and a little dried plum. Hints of spice and cocoa on the finish.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Had this several times before and having one now. Not sure why I haven’t rated it yet. Bottle from the retail store. Poured almost clear dark brown with no head. Light hop aroma. Little malt in the taste and nothing else. Overall decent beer.
