Very dark brown in colour with a long lasting but thin brown head, good lacing. The aroma is of chocolate malts, christmas cake and dark fruits. The flavour much the same as the aroma albeit a little bit thin. Cola like mouthfeel, light body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes fairly long, fizzy and malty.

Its okay but this never really seems to grab my interest.

750ml bottle from Marché des Saveurs du Québec in Montreal, Quebec.
Opened on October 30, 2008.
No date.

A deep dark schwarzbier with a thin moka head. A lightly lactic chocolate aroma. In mouth, a nice chocolatey malt with light funk (signs of infection), some fungus and cave, a bit of metallic notes, and acidity. Not bad still.

Thanks to TomDecapolis via trade with Denniz. Not quite was I was hoping for or expecting from a pretty good lager brewery- this seemed just a bit off and not quite near the style. Pours a nice deep dark almost black a bit hazy. Aroma is a bit too high in the chocoalte and roast malt- with some char and big doughy yeastiness. Flavor also chocolate malts, peppery spicy, earth, toasted malts a bit too bold and syrupy in the malts and not enough dry breqady toastiness or crisp cleanness on teh end- finishes just a bit too messy. Tastes and smells pretty good and is a good drinking beer, but not quite what I was expecing.

750ml bottle shared courtesy of TomDecapolis. Poured a dark, dark borwn color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of roast, chocolate, caramel, and nutty. Tastes of roast, nutty, and chocolate.

Poured a dark brown / amber color with a small, light tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, nuts, roasted malts, toast, toffee, and earthy yeast. Taste of caramel malts, nuts, tobacco, light citrus, roast, and a bit of cocoa, with a dry finish.

Thanks to beerbuzzmtl for the trade. Pours a deep brown with a small bubbly tan head. Aroma of molasses, vanilla, tobacco, caramel, nuts and light smoke. Flavor of lightly smoked malt, caramel, nuts, light vanilla and sweet malts. Flavor was a mix of the same. Smoke was light, caramel and molasses.

[Bottle] Pours a very deep clear brown with a smallish, fine tan head. Aroma is somewhat sweet and quite metallic with some vegetables and other greens. Also a touch of smokiness. Flavor is some mild smokiness and iced tea character. Pretty thin mouthfeel and low carbonation. This actually has a little bit of tartness, I think it might be going sour - would explain the unusually thin mouthfeel.

Le cote aromatique herbal et floral du houblon ressort bien dans cette schwarzbier. Leger coter malter. Tres bonne! Herbal and floral aromatics hops are evident in this schwarzbier. Light malty side. Very good.
