Aug 28, 2008 Bottle. Not a lot of aroma but nice black color with minimal head. Taste is malty and smooth. some fruits and molasses. I can’t find the coffee everyone else seems to get.

Aug 23, 2008 Eerily dark, with just a glimmer of red when the light hits it just so, and a strong creamy head, this schwarzbier is backed up by a fine molasses and coffee undertaste, with sweet caramel more pronounced. A fine example of the type.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle, 5.3%. Sweet dark malt aroma, slightly roasted with a hint of black liquorice. Clear very dark brown colour, hint of red. Small light brown head. The flavour is roasted with a little sweetness. Hint of brown sugar. Quite good, but a little more alcohol might have taken care of the slight grain note in the aftertaste.

Aug 5, 2008 Pours the deepest mahogany-prune into the glass, with a diminishing off-white head that leaves trace lace. Aromas are weak, but predominate with roasted malts. Some roasts in the flavor, some dry malts, but with such lively carbonation levels and thinning mouthfeel, I never really get any "substance" to this Schwarz. Pretty much dry and roasted characters in the finish, but brings out a weird metallic contingency. It drinks cleanly enough, just not a lot of distinguishing aspects.
