Sample at the brewpub. This beer pours a dark brown color with ruby around the edges, and a medium thin and creamy beige head that burns away slowly. Slick latticework of lacing. The aroma is roasty with malt and chocolate, plus some nuts. Light, smooth body with flavors of roasted malt, chocolate and light hops. The finish is sweet and malty and leaves a lightly bitter hops aftertaste. Overall this is pretty good, especially considering the low ABV.

May 17, 2008 Draught at brewpub. Dark chocolate brown colour with a medium head and great lacing. Not a big aroma but a roasted malt and smoke. More smoke, malt plus coffee and bitter chocolate in the flavour. Really surprising schwarz.

Apr 7, 2007 Not much aroma but looks nice. Taste is really quite nice. Sweet and quite reminiscent of a dunkel or schwarz. (Now I see it is.) Certainly drinkable.

Apr 12, 2004 on tap at brewpub: im trying to remember if ive ever had a schwarzbier??? so what do i have to compare it to in its class. this poured deep ruby brown. with a thin tan head that was...gone. but still full bodied enough in the mouth. they serve these beers (all their beers) in an ice frozen glass. now we know what this does to beer with flavor, it kills it. i could barely detect any nose at all. tried to warm it up a bit with my hands but still nothing. the tast was of choc malt with some sweetness there and some definate bittering hops coming through in the end. not a bad tasting beer. reminds of a hopped dunkels of sorts.
