Shared with HogTownHarry - Harrys bottle, thanks!: Jet black/brown - tiny caramel coloured head. Tan leather, shoe polish aroma, spicy too, some dark fruit. Flavour: Smooth as silk, spicy, milky too, such flavour, zero alcohol burn, so well hidden. Just a super little beer and only my second Schwarbier. Mmmmm

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.
