What I remember was swamping, black, undrinkable sludge. pepsican (886), The Student Ghetto, Iowa, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Feb 11, 2008 dark ruby with a thin off white head. Aroma of malt, maple syrup, honey, and hops. Flavor is caramel, toffee, burnt malt, and bread. Finishes slightly bitter, a little over carbonated. bhensonb (4404), Woodland, California, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Feb 9, 2008 Aroma of grassy hop with some toasted malt. Dark reddish amber color with a very impressive beige head. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is smooth, a bit of roasted malt (not toasted), with a decent amount of hop bitter. I can imagine a touch of chocolate. Finish is fairly dry and somewhat bittered. It’s not black. It doesn’t seem to be a schwarzbier in flavor. It’s pleasant, but isn’t it an amber lager?

A lot of toasted malt with some yeast in the aroma. Taste is also toasted malt with a hint of chocolate and caramel. Medium mouthfeel. Definitely drinkable, but nothing special.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 6, 2008 Nice yeasty aroma, clean and fresh. Taste starts out strong then fades rapidly to a thinner palate. Creamy carbonated texture. Has a roasty feel about it. Medium malt finish. The appearance has a yellowish tinge to a mostly dark brown beer. IMHO, overall, quite mellow and acceptable for a schwartz! GJF (522), Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Feb 5, 2008 Updated: Jul 8, 2008Pours a beautiful copper, tan head. Not much aroma really and the body is really spritzy. Almost like a soda. Not too much in the way of flavor. Not bad, but nothing to really write home about. RblWthACoz (963), Brooklyn, New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Feb 5, 2008 Pours beautifully, but, dude…this smells like dirty socks. Flavor is decently roasted, but it just seems a bit odd to me. It tastes dirty as well, in a way. As it warms it seems to be a bit more even, though. Still though a bit too live and leafy. Feel is nice. Just overall it seems to lack balance. Decent, but not a mind blower. Might be interesting on cask.
