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. Beerded_one (1580), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 8, 2008 Sampled at 08 vt brewers fest. Pours a dark reddish brown with a tan head. Aroma of light coffee, chocolate and roast. Flavor is smooth with dark malts, chocolate, caramel and a hint of toffee.
