500 ml swing top bottle purchased at Bottleworks in Seattle, Washington. 3 and A notched on the back label. Pour is clear cordovan, brown golden with a large four inch light tan head that builds with pretty settling. Head is quite lasting, and falls slowly. Aroma of metallic tinny slightly sweet malt and some dusty roastiness. Some grassy floral. Taste is floral honey sweetness out of the gate. Sharp, almost tartly sweet, quickly followed by nutty biscuit maltiness and a burnt roasty finish. The roast was pretty mild and subdued, but worked nicely to offer up a crisp clean finish. After the initial sweetness, the roast element really takes over and the sweetness is background. As this warmed, the metallic from the nose surfaced in the taste, detracting a bit. Palate is thin to medium, sweet transitioning to dry roasty, clean and quite drinkable. Overall a nice tasty beer. I ended up liking this quite a bit more than my original reaction, then as it warmed, liking it a bit less.

Pours opaque dark brown with a lacy tan head. Light body and carbonation. Caramel aroma with a touch of coffee. A bit of chocolate in the taste.

Flip top Bottle pours out a darker brown topped with a tall sandy cream head. Aroma of light sweet caramel roast malts. tast was more of the sweetness plenty of malts and even some nuttyness. A tasty German brew.

Medium brown color, well-carbonated, and with a lively body. Easy malt and roasty aroma. Nutty malt accented flavor with mild roastiness and level of robustness. Somewhat complex. Nice nutty, mildly roasty schwarz.

Dun body with a nice beige and foamy head. Aroma of caramel and roasted grains with a hint of yeast. Smooth flavour of roasted malt, caramel with some fruity taste( raisins or something like that). Nice, soft roasted aftertaste.

dark copper colour. brownis and big, solid head. big bubbles. roasty and malty smell with caramel and liquorice. starts with roasted malts and aroma of coffee. bitter middle. ends with roasted malts and hops which adds to a quite bitter and spicy aroma. drinkable.

bottled. browny black, cocoa butter aroma, pleasant roasted flavours of raisin and burnt toast and some strange raspberry. good to see a decent schwarzbier brewed so far south

Bottle. Lightly sweet and raisiny/caramel/toffee, some subtle toasty, roasted malt towards the finish, quite smooth and soft, quite drinkable.

Swing top bottle. Licorice aroma. Sweetish flavor, malty, almost sugary. Some roasted malt shimmering through. More roast in the flavor would be more than welcome.
