Dark brown with a thick tan head. Smelled like chocolate, licorice and caramel. Taste had currant added to what I mentioned in the aroma. Full palate with a good deal of chocolate and toffee. Good job with this Schwarzbier. You can find this in limited quantities at Spuyten.

Nov 18, 2008 Lightly smoky on the flavor. The aroma was more roasty. Some dusty lager twang brought it down a bit. Just OKAY

Jun 25, 2008 750ml bottle via trade. Shared with My GF Cyn, Bikesandbeer, and his GF Jessi @ San Diego Veledrome Bike Races. Poured dark blackish red/brown with a 1 finger tan head. Nose is sweet with dark malts and a touch of smoke. Taste is really really nice and sweet with a bit of licorice. Great Bew.

Aroma nice roasty profile of malts and some coccoa. Poured a nice dark black cherry. Flavor was nicely roasty, smoke and some coffeeish notes. Palate was nice and light and lively. Just great stuff.

Mar 8, 2008 Capped 750 from Ty5592 - Thanks! Appears black at first, but raising it to the light shows a deep, brilliant mahogany red. A dense, beige head lasts to the final drop. Beautiful nose, mild baking chocolate, a bit of coffee, nicely roasty. Roasty flavor, chocolate, coffee, charcoal, some light nuttiness and a wisp of smoke. Light body that never feels thin, perfectly carbonated. Dreamy stuff... excellent.

Feb 13, 2008 750 from HimerMan - thanks Brian!! I’ve been wanting to try this for some time and it doesn’t disappoint. A big dark amber pour, glistening with hints of ruby and topped by a lustrous head (but not a HW gusher!). Nice faintly chocolate aroma, which translates into the taste, capped off by some slightly dry qualities that give it a nice bitter finish. Fine stuff.
