pintbypint (1979) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - MAY 12, 2013
12 oz brown bottle. Deep brown pour, tan coloured head fades into a film on the surface with some ok lacing. Nose has some sweet dark malts, light roast. Taste is of bitter chocolate, mild raisin fruits, with dryish roasty elements, and an edge of metallic tanginess. Light and mild in the mouth. An ok schwarzbier, used to drink this a lot in my early beer drinking days.

reebtogi (3267) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - MAY 5, 2013
355ml bottle pours black in color with a finger of light beige head that lingers for a bit and settles to leaves some spots of lacing on the glass. Aroma is light roasted grains and dark fruits. Taste is malty and fruity sweetness with a light roasted grain and hop bitterness. Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation. A decent black lager that is worthy of sampling.

Black beer with no aroma to mention. Taste is sweet with something unpleasant, plastic flavor..

TizzleJizzle (375) - Garland, Texas, USA - APR 28, 2013
12 oz Bottle. Poured a black-maroon color with a thin tan top. Taste of grain, roasty & toasty nuts, and fruit. High carb, low-medium body. Underrated Schwarzbier!!

It’s bland. Can’t feel taste that much. Quite sour but smooth. Dark coke liked color. Color doesn’t match the taste.
