Buzzards Bay Black Lager

bottle at the brewery..... pours a dark caramel brown with a thin frothy light brown head.....dark caramel alt in the nose with a little added roast..... flavors show improvement. nice roasted malt, a little chocolate with a carbonated lively mouthfeel.

Pours a nice deep dark woody brown- almsot black with some ruby highlights- nice foamy lasting beige head and awesome lace. Aroma is toasty malts, some light munichs, but a nice sharp chocolate with roast as well- crisp and clean with some spicy noble hop as well. Flavor is crisp clean-- some light cookie dough malts, toast, sharp dark chocolate, clean crisp bitterness- fresh. Nice Schwarz.

Enjoyable, smoky, bitter chocolate. Some berries in the finish. Great looking pour with a lasting light cocoa head. Easy on the mouth. Nice effort.

Bottle. Pours a very deep brown. Head was a light tan that fades down to a thin and almost disappears. Strong roasted malt aroma with light flora hops. Flavor had some vanilla and caramel and coffee to it with a good bit of Chocolate.

12 oz. bottle, bottled on date on the back label, sampled in a lager glass. A nice looking start, poured a dark chocolate black with a two finger high creamy pale tan head, good retention, fair amount of ringed laced sticking. Light aromas of smoked roasted malts at first then malty scents of chocolate and coffee arise. traces of caramel too. Faint earthy herbalness and dark fruitiness in the background. Creamy smooth moderate bodied feel, some slickness on the tongue, what one expects for the style. Really pleasant tasting, rich and mellow roasted malts, chocolate caramel and coffee with a dash of cream. The hops add a quite soft spiciness along with the advertised black currant fruitiness. Finishes darkly malt sweet and currant fruity. This is a good take on the traditional Schwarzbier, from the lagers I’ve tried from Buzzard Bay, all are above average and this is no exception.
