1.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 7/20
Mmmmmm, brewed with sweetener...???
This is the thinnest dark beer I’ve ever come across. Decent aroma, and then downhill from there. Nothing special to note. Picked up the bottle for US$1.20 so it has that going for it, but even for the price point this is a disappointment. 3.8%??? I guess sweet n low doesn’t ferment? haha

Poured a black color with a small off white head. Aroma was very sweet malts and maybe some chocolate. Flavor was just too overly sweet and not much else to it.

On tap in a fat assed krug in Frankfurt. Clear dark brown with a huge tan head. Nice light smoke over mild chocolate and sweet malt. Light bodied, decent lace. Good stuff.

(Draught at Krusovicka Pivnice, Prague, 23 July 2008) Dark brown colour, almost black, with a creamy, pale brown head. Malty, roasted nose with coffee and chocolate. Malty, roasted taste with notes of cola, coffee and a fairly molasses like sweetness. Decent, but rather boring.

50cl bottle.
Pours dark brown with a thin white head lighty nutty.
Aroma is lightly roasted and the taste has the same sweet nutty and light caramel malt.
A little too light in my opinion.
Aftertaste comes a little hoppy with a note that reminds me of a pilsner. Dry finish.
Not the best schwarzbier.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Sampled 7-5-08) Bottle poured into shaker- poured dark ruby red that was transparent, razor thin head hung around for a few minutes but had to go back home, thin aroma of a light roasted malt, weak coffee, and small hops. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt comes through cleanly, cream in the middle, very light hop finish. Not bad, not bad at all.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Can (500ml). Poured a deep ruby black with a frothy/creamy, averaged sized, tanned head which was mostly lasting. Aroma was of sweetish, lightly roasted malts with notes of aniseed, caramel, milk chocolate, prunes and a hint of coffee. Flavor was similar to aroma with virtually no bitterness, sweet lightly roasted malts, caramel, milk chocolate, dates and a hint of creamy coffee. Light to medium bodied with medium carbonation, a dry/creamy mouthfeel and an ok finish.
Not bad just not that memorable.
