Fort Collins The Kidd Lager (Schwarzbier)

Brewed by Fort Collins Brewery
Style: Schwarzbier
Fort Collins, Colorado USA

12oz bottle. thanks Jim! color is chocolate brown with orange edges and a thin light tan head. soft chocolatey nose with a touch of grain and some roasted malts. medium to thin body, with more soft chocolate and a little of that tart dark malt flavor that appears in this style. the same on often found in english porters. pretty good

draft @ brewery. Dark brown almost black. Malty, with some caramel and vanilla. Its very smooth and light, hints of roasty chocolate. Good session beer.

Pours almost black with amber highlights. Aroma is faint. Flavor is roasted malt and smoke, chocolate and brown sugar. Creamy feel in the mouth is nice. The beer starts off with a burst of flavor but settles half way through.

Pour is a black with a small tan head. Aroma is very smoked with a meat and peat smell. Flavor is coffe and again with the smoke. Some dark chocolate and some roastyness comes through at the end but nothing to carry this one over the top. More of a smoked than a schwartz.

Well I didn’t like this beer as much as many. Pours very dark with a dark reddish hue when held to the light. It had a dense orangish tan head. The aroma came off like a smoked beer - smoke, jerky, peat and such. I do not like smoke in beers in general, especially those that surprise you with it. Medium smooth body with a decent amount of sharp carbonation. Once again, even though its not listed anywhere smoke takes the front seat and the traits on the aroma dominate the flavor. There is some underlying chocolate and roasted malt, but they are hidden pretty well. The finish adds some spice and coffee-like flavors. If smoked schwartz is your thing, this may work for you. However, I will never have this again.

Got this one bottled, thank you <a href = "http://www.ratebeer.com/View-User-19511.htm& Clear, dark brown pour with a filmy tan head, sweet candy maltiness in the nose, very yeasty, unusual finish and not very good.

This schwarzbier pours a deep brown color from a 12oz bottle. Medium to small sized beige head. Aroma is coffee and chocolate, a touch of smoke. A light to medium bodied schwarzbier. Malts are roasty and smoky with lots of chocolate and coffee flavors. Hops are earthy and floral. Nice balance. Good carbonation. Nice beer. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
