Oct 23, 2008 Bottle. Pours opaque black-brown with fizzy tan head. Lovely chocolate aroma. Lots of cocoa, carob, rain on asphalt. Clean smell. Soft creamy mouthfeel. Sweet, creamy, almost lucious, solid body. A tad too sweet but very chocolately. Like a creamy chocolate cake.

Oct 16, 2008 Pours dark brown and flat. The aroma is a smoky-molasses with lots of wood, maybe rye bread. Soft, sweet and smooth, with mellow molasses and a light hint of woodiness.

Aug 14, 2008 Courtesy dchmela. Black with a thin off-white layer of foam. Licorice and roast on the nose, a bit roasty for a schwarzbier. Cleaner taste, nice palate - very light roast and a smooth finish, not too sweet.

Aug 3, 2008 2008-08-02. Pitch black with a modest dark head. Sweet dark malt aroma, cocoa and a light roast. Flavour is similar, smooth chocolately malt, kissed by toasty roasty malt, just a touch of bitterness. Just a great, rich overall flavour. Smooth medium bodied palate. Pretty awesome, I can’t believe it took me so long to get to it. Many thanks Bobby. Bottle courtesy of OKBeer.

Jul 22, 2008 Bottle… Pours pitch black with a small, creamy, khaki head. Decent retention. The aroma provides a light puff of campfire smoke alongside charcoal and tobacco malts. Full-bodied with a velvety mouthfeel and pillow-soft carbonation. Sweet, vinous and chocolaty with a touch of molasses or licorice… or both. Dark fruits. Lightly charred, warming finish. Kudos to dchmela for providing the bottle!

Jul 17, 2008 Bottle sampled at mgumby10’s, thanks dchmela: I don’t know if this is quite nirvana as it is chocolate-covered banana. Flavor is a roasted chocolate malt, some raisin, warm finish. I thought there’d be more going on here, although not a complex beer, still tasty.

Jul 14, 2008 Courtesy dchmela. Pours a dark brown, with a small off white head. Smells of roasty dark malt, and tons ofdark fruits found in most schwarzbiers. Really dug that nose. The flavor is seemingly more on the roasty side, with touches of dark fruit, and hints of mild chocolate. Maybe not quite as good as the nose, but more than competent. This was a pleasant surprise.
