Dark Horse Reserve Special Black Bier

Pours thick, curtain of black. The beer itself actually sticks to the side of the glass like oil. Beautiful orange tan head. Heavy lacing. Smells of roasted barley, molasses, brown sugar, and toffee. Roasted malts exploding on the taste buds. Great mouthfeel. Dry and slightly sour. Medium low hoppiness. Creamy, smooth and delicious.

Pours black creamy dark tan / brown head. Aroma is roasty, burned coffee, sweet malt. The taste is astonishingly wonderful! Chocolate bitter sweet joy.

Tap at Eulogy. Poured dark black. This has the flavor of a stout and the body of a porter. Nice mouthful and nicely carbonated. Great coffee flavor and awesome. Bitter finish.

Bottle from West Lakeview. Pours black/brown with a creamy dark head. Nose is roasty and floral, cocoa as well. On taste, clean bitterness with a nice acrid note that pulls it together. Slightly sweet and chocolatey. Very nice.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured black with a thick brown head. Flavor was full of roasted malts with undertones of roasted coffee. Flavor begins with a mocha kick, but dark grain flavors take over giving a roasted malt flavor.

Courtesy of nbutler11, thanks Nick. It’s pitch black with a dark brown, creamy head and the aroma has notes of chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, cocoa and licorice – it’s full and alluring. The flavor is sweet with notes of chocolate, coffee, light dark fruits, licorice and the overall impression is harmonic, nice, full and intense...

Excellent beer. A big brown head with lots of chocolate in the nose. The flavor is very smooth and rich. A dry chocolate finish. Well done.

Smell of chocolate and booze with a hint of vanilla. Smell gives the impression of light body.........smoked, roasted coffee malty nutty flavor. Good stuff!
