Style: Smoked
Frederick, Maryland USA

bottle, thanks to beachbum25, black pour with chocolate milk foam, aroma of roasty lager, none of the sourness detected by some of the other raters, good malty cocoa and roasty schwarz

This beer pours black with a thin off white head. The aromas are chocolate and smoke. The flavor is roasted chocolate and smoke. I really like this one.

Sampled at The Big Pour beerfest in Scottsdale AZ, in the VIP room. Black, with a big nosefull of coffee and smoke. Flavours of coffee, bitter chocolate, a touch of vanilla sweetness, and a fair bit of smokey character. There is a slightly vegetal bitterness in the finish. Really nice, very smokey but still allowing the other flavours to play through on the palate.

Bottle 355ml.

Draught at EsBF09. Mild vinous aroma. Black colour. Good smokey flavour, mildly roasted. Good smooth mouthfeel. Roasted and mild, hint of grassy hops, especially in the aftertaste.

bottle thanks to angrypirate06. deep chocolate brown with a cream head. roasted malts along with a hint of sourness on the nose. decent on the palate with a flavor of roasted malts, smoke and a standout flavor of pineapple.

Dark brown with a small pale beige head that leaves small lacings. The smell has a gentle but prominent smoky character of mostly smoked ham. Notes of charcoal. Dark malts with a gently roasted character. Some fruity notes. The taste is mostly sweet with a delicate mix of smoked ham and roasted malts. Notes of charcoal, wood, coffee, chocolate and roasted fruits. The finish is somewhat bitter with a slight taste of minerals, dark bread and perhaps just a hint of grassy hops. Medium body, slightly boring texture, quite a lot of carbonation. I liked this one. The smoky character takes the lead from start to finish, but it never gets too overpowering or cloying. Instead, it’s rather delicate actually. Serving type: bottle (Copy of old Beer Advocate review)

It’s pitch black with a creamy head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, light smoke and licorice. The flavor has a light sweetness and light notes of smoke, licorice and caramel and the finish is slightly sweet and bitter. It’s a really nice interpretation of a scwazbier.
