2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Key Foods Supermarket, Brooklyn bottle ($2): Pours a near black color with a thin brownish head. So the look is all fine. Aroma is hard to get from the nose at least at first, but as it warms up there is a modest roasted malt element. At the first taste, this beer feels too much like a soda, Dr. Pepper to be precise... carbonation taste and everything. Again as it warms up the beer flavors actually start to be represented. Where you get the fruits, molasses and roasted malts. Syrupy-like texture.

Bottle. Pours pitch black with a medium, brown head. Dark, malty aroma with some spice and fruits. Sweet flavor with dark fruits and good roast. Medium in body with average carbonation. Finishes with some nice roastiness along with strong malty sweetness. Not bad.

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
12 oz bottle into my all-purpose Sam Adams glass. Nose is black coffee, bread, licorice. Pours black with a reddish tint when held up to the light; nice head recedes, leaving a blanket of foam and creamy decorative lace. Taste is malty sweet with no bitterness. Taste is like chocolate and fresh baked bread. Carbonation is soft, body is medium, and mouthfeel is creamy. A nice schwarz.

Not as flavorful or aromatic as the color suggests. Enough going on to be interesting but remains very drinkable. Serving: Bottle
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
The beer pours a dark brown to black color with a tan head. The aroma is roasted malt and chocolate, but it is fairly faint. The flavor is more pronounced. I get some roasted malt, chocolate and caramel. The beer is very dry. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
