Feb 7, 2010 Part of my microbrew of the month selection for January. This beer pours a black color with a small head. Nice lacing around my glass. Smell of sweet with roasted notes. Flavor is nice and fulfilling. Not bad.

Jan 29, 2010 Tasted 1/29/10. 12oz bottle. Opaque, yet filtered. Dark brown hue. Webbed khaki head. Aromas of nutty, fudge and toast. Dark chocolate and mild coffee. Really nice roasted aromas! Medium bodied and, once again, a very nice roasted palate. Tastes fresh and without flaws. Dark toast and nutty malts. Good sticky cloying mouthfeel. Modest effervescence and carbonation. Good tingling sensation on the tongue. Well crafted and quite solid drinking!

Jan 24, 2010 Bottle. Pours near black/dark brown with a light brown/grayish head that lasts. Aroma has lots of dark malts as well as a nice roasted note. Flavor begins a bit weak, but dark roasted malts build throughout with a bit of caramel.

Jan 22, 2010 Pour is a black with a small tan head. Aroma is a decent roasted chocolate malt. Flavor is pretty much the same but fairly muted as nothing really stands out. Not the best schwartz by a long shot.

Jan 17, 2010 Pours with a nice tan head, very dark in color, not 100% black, but has hints of extremely dark red. Reminiscent of a porter, but a thinner mouthfeel. Flavors of chocolate, malts, caramel, burnt barley. A touch of a bitter aftertaste. Almost a "tweener" brew - either go all out and make this a porter - adding depth and complexity, or make this more of a lager. Probably would not buy again.

Jan 14, 2010 Ppours a clear dark brown. Thin beige head that quickly dissipates. Aroma of roasted caramel malt, some light chocolate and a hint of dark fruit sweetness. Flavor is roasted dark malt and a touch of bitter chocolate. Finish is thin with an off-putting metallic feeling.

Jan 14, 2010 Bottle from my sister-in-law. Black pour with a light brown head. Lots of white floaters. It’s just really sour. There’s some coffee and roasted nuts in the aroma/flavor, but it’s all really just so sour. Hopefully a bad bottle, as I don’t see anyone else’s ratings mentioning sourness or floaters.
