12 oz bottle: Aroma is roasty malt characteristic upfront, subtle hop notes on the back end, other aromas are coffee and slightly woodsy. Appearance is cola like black with a medium tan head that sticks around for quite a while. Taste is nice. Malt upfront with the roasty nuttiness slight caramel notes, and a faint grassy hop note. Palate is medium carbonation and a malty aftertaste. Overall, It’s a very nice Swartzbeir. IMHO. Cheers!

dark brown with one finger head. seems to be a slightly thicker lager with lots of roasted malt, slight chocolate. not really my thing, but seems to be well executed.

Pours dark brown with a finger of tan head. Aroma is dark chocolate malts with a bit of roasted character. Taste in mostly dark roasted malts with some carbonated tartness at the end. Good dark session lager.

The Kidd has a strong chocolate malt aroma and for a session beer plentiful flavor. Dark brown light bodied Schwarzbier that should appeal to a wide audience.

Bottle. Aroma has notes of roasted malts, coffee, chocolate and smoked peat. Very dark brown that sits black in the glass with an average off-white head that diminished and left great lace. Flavor is lightly sweet and medium bitter. Palate is light bodied and watery average. Overall a surprise from FCB. A good representation of the style and an enjoyable brew in it’s own right. Nice.

Very dark red-brown with a medium-sized light tan head that is mostly diminishing. Cocoa, roasted nuts, light coffee and molasses aroma. Lightly bitter coffee, bittersweet chocolate and pumpernickel bread flavors. Lively carbonation with a medium body. Dry, wheaty finish. Decent overall.
