SO dark, with an off white head. Lovely nose of coffee, malt and spice. Quite full bodied, good malty palate, with a clean citrus hoppy edge. Good beer!

Bottle pours dark brown with lingering beige head . aroma not very pronounced but traces of toasted malt . taste initially slightly sweet malt becoming more bitter and notes of black bread . carbonation is medium , body is a little watery . a bit below an average Schwartzbier for me

Eh I wasn’t too impressed with this beer. Weak aromas and flavors of chocolate, molasses and roasted malt. Looks like cola. Mouthfeel is highly carbonated but too thin. Overall I’d say this is below average for a Schwarzbier.

50 cl bottle. Caramel, roasty aroma and quite hoppy. Good aroma and better appearance, almost black colour, tones of pretty dark red/amber. Good brown thick head. Perhaps quite a weak flavour. Still, a very drinkable dark beer.

Very light sample for me, i expected smth more complex and full bodied)

Can - 1l Appearance: Clear dark brown color with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, tan head. Aroma: moderate roasted malt, caramel, coffee . Taste: moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter. Palate:Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is average.

0,5l bottle. Dark brown reddish color. Small beige head, stays. Roasted malts, syrup as aroma. Mildly bitter, roasted malt dominates, faint chocolate ending.

50cl bottle. Dark/Black brown with little tanned head. Sip ; toffee and dough notes. Vanilla cake. Floral. Sip ; Little sweet and a bit dry, followed with little bitter hop and long aftertaste with hints of sour/bitter coffee. Mild. Overall nothing special , big ressemblance to english bitter beers.

Brown 500ml bottle, best before Dec 2011, drank and reviewed mid July 2011. Deep rustic brown body with a cream coloured head which gave off loads of lacing on the vase shaped glass it sat in. The smell was of sweet malty molasses, but not overly so, or sickly. Initially I thought ’what a cracking flavour of maltiness’, but sadly the brew soon turned into a boring malty tasting fizzy beverage I didn’t like so much. The body was weak in depth, even for a lager/pilsner based beer: almost watery in fact, even though it was highly carbonated. Not very impressed.

0.5 l bottle, thanks hanniku! Dark reddish brown. Aromas of toffee, dark bread, nuts and hint of molasses. Acidic roasty flavor with coffee, charred bread and molasses. Dryish acidic taste.

Bottle. Dark brown colour with a small beige head. Roasted malt in the aroma with hints of coffee. Flavour is slightly sweet caramel, roasted malt and notes of coffee. Light to medium-bodied.
