Bottled. Murky brown colour with ambery notes, mediumsized off-white creamy/foamy head that leaves some lace. Aroma is mildly burnt malts along with some herbal and grassy notes. Flavour is quite similar, but also has some slight liquorice and wood in it. Finish is semidry.

Bottle. Pours deep brown with a moderate off-white creamy head. Aroma of malts and spices, light hoppy.Taste is slightly on the sweet side, caramel, liquorice.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Starts hoppy and dry, not very malty. The finish is still very dry, also a bit metallically. Not my favourite.

Draft. This was a schwarzbier? Wow I thought it was really a dunkel or a wierd doppelbock. Ehhh, have had better

Pours a dark, opaque reddish-brown with a thin off-white head. Aroma is not strong but it malty and a little spicy, with a hint of fruit, and definitely tempting. Rich flavor is mainly malty with a fruity undertone - mostly cherry - and a strong hoppy tone, a little bitter and a little sweet. Texture is fairly smooth and lively, leaving a bit of a tingle. Wunderbar!

Bottle shipped from the brewery. Small but sturdy light tan head atop a dark brown body. Aroma is nutty and chocolate with some roastiness. Flavor is really roasty with a nice burnt flavor. Pretty hoppy but possibly because it’s so fresh. Too sweet and not dry enough, especially as it warms.

Mahogany with a large beige head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel and breadish notes. Flavour likewise with a somewhat hoppy finish.
