Nov 17, 2009 Red-brown, thin but creamy khaki tan cover. Aroma is roasty, chocolate, some coffee, light fruit. Taste is more berries, coffee, roast, sweet but bitter finish. Nice beer, best of the Pete’s Place bunch by a mile.

Nov 12, 2009 Clear mahogany with a medium tan slowly fading topper that leaves halo lacing. Aroma of nuts, roasted malt and toffee. Taste of chocolate, nuts and malt. Thin body with a cola like consistency and a choc-y finish. The minor mishap was me buying the mixer sixer.

Oct 24, 2009 Pours a deep brown (almost black) with a thin beige head that quickly collapses. The nose is of ashy dark roast and a touch of chocolate. Light-bodied and slick with a tart/astringent finish. Odd. There is a strong lactose-like sourness over roasted malt and a hint of chocolate. I’m inclined to think this is either infected or it’s the oddest Schwarzbier I’ve ever tried. But given that 2 of the 3 previous raters also got the lactose note, it’s either intended or a quality control issue.

Oct 15, 2009 12 oz bottle from soonah. Pours a deep dark brown with a smaller foamy off white head.Aroma was well done with roasty malts, sweet chocolate, freeze dried coffee but a slight underlying touch of sour milk. The sour milk aroma really takes off in the flavor and knocks this beer down a bunch. Nothing memorable here but not horrible.

Oct 14, 2009 Deep dark brown coloured body with a strong brong body when held up to a light with a very thin tan head that shows when poured vigorously. Aroma of roasted malt, figs, pit fruits, caramel and concord grapes with a bit of nice fresh scents. Medium-bodied; Assertive chalky taste with a ton of malt, nuts, caramel and those pit fruits. Aftertaste shows some alcohol, a lot of nuts, a tiny bit of yeast and a lot of nuts tucked in. Overall, not such a bad beer - no smoke or deep flavours, only some pit fruits and roasty malts. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased at Broadway Wine Merchants in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on 31-August-2009 sampled at home in Washington on 14-October-2009.

Oct 1, 2009 Bottled. Poured clear, deep brown with a lovely cap of tan head.. looked great! The aroma picked up toasty coffee, molasses, and black patent maltage accented by a touch of smoke and earth.. nice presentation. The flavor had sticky caramel, molasses, and coffee at the core with some vanilla and chocolate laced throughout.. spicy earth and lactic sourness surrounded.. finished with the milky sugars clashing against the malts. Lighter-bodied with high carbonation on the palate.. scratchy and bitter at the end.. OK feel, but barely.

Sep 18, 2009 pours dark brown/black with a thin tan head.
Aroma is chocolate maltiness with a bit of nuttiness and smoke.
very drinkable if a little thin in the body.
Flavour is chocolatey again, though not overly sweet, some pronounced dark fruitiness in the finish..
