Commercial Description:
Light bodied German Schwartzbier. Some Black malt is added to darken the color, but it is best described as a 'Black Pilsner'.

On tap at Water Street Brewery in Milwaukee. Blacks with a thin tan head. Aroma of light dark malt, caramel, roasted malt and bread. Taste of dark malt, roasted malts, caramel, and light molasses. Body is over carbonated and finishes chewy and astringent.

Draught at the brewpub (Downtown Milwaukee location). Clear brown color with thin white head that left no lace. Smelled of brown sugar and milk chocolate. Flavor was similar with a light roasty accent. Unfortunately there was a strange industrial cleaner-like bitterness. Watery mouth feel. Not well done.

Dark brown color with a small thin isle of beige bubbles atop. Caramel and creamed corn aromas. Not quite as bad as it sounds. More different than anything else. After the first taste, sweet weak coffee comes to mind. THere is a mild caramel flavor that over toward the end. Seems like a strong brown ale.
