Pours very dark. Can only see hints of red when held to a light. Tan malty looking head. Aroma is very porter like and a hint of A-1 sauce. Yes, A-1 sauce. Twang spiciness on first impression and again I have to say it’s similar to A-1. Finish is very clean and nice. Not my favorite schwarzbier but decent.

Oct 10, 2008 Dark pour with brown head. Nose of smoke and heavy roast. Flavor has a decent hit of smoke up front then fades to a light roast with hints of semi-sweet chocolate. Medium body with just a touch of sweetness on the finish.

Sep 23, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a moderate, fairly dense tan head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left very little lace. Pleasant aroma of smoke with just a little bit of roasted malt. The flavor is very similar. The smokiness is mild and not overpowering, and is very nice. Beyond the smoke, there is not much else going on with this beer. Still, an enjoyable brew.

Sep 12, 2008 Another wonderful suprises! Clear near black pour with good brown head. It was like a nice chocolatey version of the z lager. Got even more enjoyable as it warmed.

Sep 11, 2008 Bottle from Warehouse Bev in Cleveland. Pours a nice opaque black, very slight red tinge if held up to the light. Tan head is slight but sticks around. Nose is mellow: some caramel, some roast but not a ton. Light body leads into mellow caramel and chocolate malt flavors. Finish is only slightly sweet, with a touch of roast bittering it out. Pretty good, I could see this being a great session beer if I could get it fresh.
