hophead75 (1667), Boonton, New Jersey, USA Aug 31, 2008 22 oiz bottle. Almost black in color with some ruby highlights. Aroma is moderately roasty, some dry chocolate, a touch of noble hops. Taste is roasty for the style, with some chocolate, and a moderate malty sweetness. Light bodied, with a light to moderate hop bitterness in the finish. nice, clean profile. This one may be a touch roastier than other shwarzbier’s I’ve had but it was enjoyable. mcbackus (638), Merritt Island, Florida, USA Aug 20, 2008 bottle from mcox90: pours dark dark brown almost black small off white head. aroma is a big roast and some chocolate, the malt is ther but the roast dominates slight cocoa too. flavour is nice great roast with some bitter chocolate and mice maltiness good beer Beershine (1214), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Aug 20, 2008 At Vero. thanks Backus for setting this aside. Dark black-brown, semi-clear. Husky aroma. Mellows into a sweeter and finely structured malt body. Excellent level of sweetness. Smooth, with a gorgeous body. smith4498 (342), Miami, Florida, USA Aug 18, 2008 Bottle courtesy of mcbackus. Pours dark brown with light tan head. Smokey roasted aroma. Flavors of caramel, roasted malts, some chocolate. Medium body with average carbonation. A nice schwarzbier that is easy to drink. mgumby10 (1640), West Palm Beach, Florida, USA Aug 10, 2008 Courtesy mcbackus. Pours a dark brown, with an off white head. Smells of big caramel, graham crackers, and smooth vanilla. The flavor was a little mellow, dark fruits and malts encompass its identity. A little roasty with sometoasted malt in there too. Nice drinking little schwarzbier, nothing too complex or exciting, but certainly drinkable.
