COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Miner Mishap is our version of a traditional German Schwarzbier, also known as "Black Pilsner" or simply "Black Lager". Our traditional version was formulated by our friend William Scott (or Scotty as he’s known around the brewery), an award-winning homebrewer and certified beer judge who has always been very generous about sharing his creations and his seemingly unlimited knowledge of beer. It seemed only fitting that since we started out as a homebrewery, we would try and recreate one of Scotty’s homebrews (which are typically 5 or 10 gallon batched) here in our 15 barrel 鸑 gallon) brewhouse. Brewed almost entirely with malt imported from Weyermann Specialty Malts in Bamberg, Germany and hopped with Imported German Perle and Hallertaur Mittlefreu hops, Miner Mishap is truly a one-of-a-kind original.

(Bottle, courtesy of Swalden_28) Pours a brown body with a medium beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, cocoa, vanilla, molasses, and maple. Flavor of roasted malt, chocolate, caramel, and a quite displeasing buttery taste (DMS).

chriso (7254) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - APR 25, 2010
Bottle at nimbleprop DC tasting, 6 March 2010 as Choc Miner Mishap. My first beer from Oklahoma. Good dark colour with a thin beige head. Some light, but firm, roast malt notes in the aroma. Lots of chocolate in the flavour. Purists would probably regard it as having too much chocolate for a Schwarzbier but it was fine by me. Firm and pretty tasty. A pleasant surprise.

3fourths (6958) - Vilnius, LITHUANIA - OCT 3, 2005
Dark brown or even purple hues with light at the edges of the glass. Has a bad sour hay and mold aroma, with a bland, flavorless moldy harshness. Bad in so many ways.

womencantsail (6902) - Garbage Grove, California, USA - FEB 21, 2010
A: The pour from bottle to pint glass is black with about one finger of tan colored foam. S: The aroma is almost solely roasted malt with perhaps a touch of earthy hops. T: Like the nose, the primary player in the flavor is the roasted malt. There is a slight acidity to the beer which lends it an almost sour flavor. A slight bitter and smokiness is present also, but at times is overwhelmed by the acidity. M: The body is quite good, especially for what most people generally expect from a lager. The carbonation is very lively. D: Definitely an easy drinker in terms of alcohol "punch", but the acidity/sourness detracts somewhat from the drinkability.

Ughsmash (6671) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - 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.
