Bottle from Super Saver that I am opening as I type this. The rating is very high, and that is good. The pour is dark blackish with almost no light through my desk lamp, and a minimal brown head. The aroma is heavy corn flakey malty, with some cacao, brown sugar, and molasses. The palate is rich and complex, with a great roasty dark patent malt flavor up front, giving way to a lot of chocoff hints, plus some molasses, prunes, slight cherry, and ovaltine. Very complex and well balanced, this is a repeater for next week.

Bottle: Black colour, with a flat head. Aroma of Dark chocolate, and a bit bit of bitternes in the end. Smouth, medium to full body, toffee mouth feeling, and a anonymius bitterness in the end. But a werry nice German Porter!!

(Bottle 50 cl) Completely black and opaque with a rich, beige head leaving laces as it dissipates. Rather sweet aroma of roasted malt. Rather full-bodied with sweetish accents of roasted malt - never burned though. Some alcohol in the finish. A rare German Porter. And even more rare: a GOOD German Porter. 060806

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours black and almost opaque - no head at all. Sweetish, roasted aroma. Very full-bodied and thick, almost tar-like with a high degree of sweetness. Lots of burned malt and a somewhat ashy edge. Rather subdued bitterness. Reminds me of an Imperial Stout. 270406

Almost black with nutty brown sides. A thin head that is off-white and sticks to the glass. Aroma is doughy, with plums, roasted, some coffee and a bit of liquorice. Low to medium carbonated, though still kind of fresh. Thick and creamy mouthfeel. Burnt taste with liquorice, sweetness and a bit of a vinious tone.

Lee’s Discount Liquors, Las Vegas, Nv - 500 ml bottle. Motor oil-like black pour with a slight mocha colored head. Baked brown bread doughy aroma with hints of raisins. Flavor is very robust and earthy with some baked brown bread, raisins, chewing tobacco and a hint of chocolate and black licorice. A definite belly warmer. Mouthfeeel is thick, full and creamy. Hit the spot as I was drying off in my hotel room after getting caught in the rain in the Grand Canyon.

Bottle 50cl. Black - light brown head. Burned malts, a little sweetness, raisins, a little smoke. That’s about it.

Bottle sampled with Beerded-one. Pours dark with a one inch thick brown head. Aroma of dark fruit, roast, chocolate, alcohol, and sweetness. Flavor is silky smooth, coffee, chocolate, dark fruit, sweetness, and molasses. Good heathy boddy, damn good brew.

Pour is dark black with a thin almost nonexistant head....smell is roasty and sweet...taste is very chemically sweet like the schwarz was...a little more roasty, but not altegether pleasant...
