3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20Poured into a lager glass. A thin, tan head on a black body.
The aroma is rich, roasted malt. Pretty good, if one-sided.
The taste is roasted malt at first, then a big kick of lemon bitterness. It seems a little disjointed but I like it.
The texture is smooth with moderate carbonation.
Not a bad black lager.

A very nice black lager. Pours a nice thick black with a light tan head. Smells great, like a vanilla latte. Tastes great as well, toasted coffee with a sweet malty finish. Very good! Had in the bottle at Billcos.

This beer was a shared tasting with Strykzone on Facebook Chat
This poured the appropriate black you would expect from a Schwarzbier and raised a big bubbled and robust head. The nose was roasted malts and some treacle. Medium in body it had the smooth clean lager mouth feel. The flavor was roasted malts and the treacle like the aroma. Right on the mark for this style beer and very easy drinking and enjoyable.

Bomber from Hayduke. We had it together via facebook chat. This poured black and had a really big beige head. It bordered on being a gusher. But the foam was very light and drinking through it was not a problem. A roasted aroma. The flavor was also roasted notes with treacle. Some cooked brown sugar. A fizzy feel that eventually left my tongue numb. I needed a lighter beer tonight and this fit the bill nicely. It was flavorful and interesting.

This is a really dark beer especially for a lager, but is an absolutely beautiful garnet color under a strong light. Woody, chocolate and slight sour aromas topped with a medium tan head that is surprisingly voluminous and persistant. Unfortunately, those sour aromas follow in the taste and I don’t think these are intended. While it doesn’t seem to be the infected sour flavor, I think this is due to the fermenting at higher temperature (which I’ve tasted in homebrews before). While the sour dominates, there is some nice light milk and dark chocolate flavor in there and these actually hang around in the aftertaste which makes this a lot more drinkable. Finishes very dry with a woody, husky quality.

Pours black with a huge tan head that won’t go away and a treacle aroma. There is a smooth dark malt flavor with a very dry finish. Easy to drink.
