Bottle. Pours a black colour with a beige head. Aroma is quite thin - some roasted notes, chocolate and liquorice. Flavour has some chocolaty sweetness. There are also notes of liquorice and roasted notes. Very thin on the mid-palate. In the finish I get some chocolate, black pepper and almost no bitterness whatsoever.

Draft. Served in a Shaker pint in a bar so, not much head. Nice clear very dark brown to almost black color. Aroma of dark roasted malt. Flavor of dark roasted malt with just a hint up upfront fruitiness. No real hop presence but, the bitterness balanced the maltiness. Medium mouthfeel to make this an easy drinking schwarzbier. I really enjoyed this.

I do believe this brew is underrated. Pours jet black with a nose of coffee and toasty malt. Flavor is roasty, coffee, some chocolate and very little hops. I like this one. Drink up!!
