Moonlight Death and Taxes Black

Brewed by Moonlight Brewing Company
Style: Schwarzbier
Fulton, California USA

On tap @ Toronado. Pours a deep black color with a small off-white head. Smoky, earthy aroma, roasted malts. Again, lots of roasted malt in the body, licorice, with a sweet tanginess. I like the style, love this beer.

Pretty sure I had this at the Toronado. Remember it being darkly colored in a good looking way, smooth, lightly roasted and bodied, and easy to drink. Decent.

(Draught) Pours a dark brown body with a small beige head. Aroma of roasted grain, grass, cocoa, nuts, caramel, and coffee. Flavor of roasted malt, coffee, cocoa, and hops (grass, earth) with a creamy mouthfeel.

From tap at Flavour. Pours dark brown with a small deep amber glare and a slowly collapsing tan head. Aroma is light butterish and roasted. Bitter and roasted malt flavoured with a light butterish note coming through. Ends slight butterish.

Drank it on tap at San Francisco’s Toronado thanks to a friend we met from Nicaragua. Pitch black color, seems heavy, however it is light bodied, smooth and creamy, roasted flavor.

Draft. A pitch black beer with a brown head. The aroma has notes of butter and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet and buttery with notes of roasted malt and chocolate, leading to a roasted finish. More like a mild than a Schwartzbier.

Shaker pour at Tornado. Color is black as heck. Aroma is very roasted with light hops peaking through out of a very clean profile. Flavor is the same, very easy to drink with lots of character but not sweet. Not much more to say, its just good.

6/18/09 on draft at the nhc. Aroma is super chocolaty with a nutty, woody note. Appears is nearly black with a cream/tan head that is well maintained. Flavor is very rich, sweet and toasty with a clean finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with slight creaminess. Overall, traditional yet sweet and not worse for it.
