Neptunius777 (37) - AUSTRALIA - AUG 18, 2012
Chocolate and caramel undertones, almost suggestive of coffee and cake. Dark, opaque body with a thick lacy head. Earthy , bitter, taste. Evocative of molasses. Lingering. Overall a thin body, not with the richness and fat, oily finish inherent in a stout. Not a bad drop overall

WVHouseofBeer (701) - Kissimmee, Florida, USA - JUL 26, 2012
Pours black with a decent sized khaki head that leaves some lacing. Aromas and flavors of dark chocolate, coffee, ash and roasted caramel. Body is too thin and watery with a slightly creamy finish. Overall a pretty standard Schwarzbier; nothing special but it gets the job done.

330ml bottle. Nice malt aromas and taste. A good black beer, with a nice dark malt bitter finish.

EithCubes (4195) - New Jersey, USA - JUL 9, 2012
Bottle by AUG 12. Nose a little plummy, oily dark malt. Dark ruby body that’s closer to black, with a short tan head. Taste lightly sweet with low bitterness, strikes a nice crisp-creamy balance and presents a good deal of roast; some ash, some nice burned notes, no real fruit. Aftertaste nice and toasty. Inky medium body.

rosenbergh (4653) - Helsinki, FINLAND - APR 26, 2012
330 ml bottle. From bierzwerg.de.
Dark reddish brown almost black colour with small tan head. Dark malt, grain, some sweetness but most dryish maltiness in aroma. Flavour is weak lagery with some darker maltiness, mild dryness and liquorice. Thin.

Brandman (1424) - Helsinki, FINLAND - APR 26, 2012
Dark brown body. Aroma has chocolate, hint of coffee, but mostly just Malty. Flavour is bit metallic and this just feels poor schwartz. Bit buttery.

BeerViking (1421) - Lüneburg, Lower Saxony, GERMANY - APR 14, 2012
33cl bottle, black with beige head and aromas of malt extract, demerara and yeast. Good schwarzbier character with roast malt and light red fruit notes.
