Aug 5, 2009 Growler. Thanks, Theisti and BVC! Pours mahogany to black. Dark ruby highlights and a thin grayish filmy rim. Nice big dark roasty smoky and salty nose. Creamy medium body with very pleasant medium carb. Smoky, earthy, slightly salty mid-palate. Long earthy finish. This is a very forward, aggressive dunkel, you might say Americanized, with plenty of carb, flavor, and aroma. Drinks very easily and has copious amounts of flavor for 4.5%. Kind of glad I wasn’t prejudiced by walking into a casino and trying this; it’s much better than I might have been inclined to think in such a setting.

Jul 28, 2009 Draft at the brewpub. Pour is ever so slight haze deep brown with a nicely formed 2 inch khaki head. As it warms slightly, gets clear and shiny. Nice in the glass. Aroma was faint initially, though the beer was served crazy cold. As it finally warmed, some nice roast and nuttiness came through. Really clean and fresh. Taste is a perfect mix of malt roastiness and mildly sweet nuttiness. Not terribly complex, but really clean and tasty. Palate is thin to medium, medium carbonation and a clean slightly roasty bitter finish. Nice lingering roastiness. This was super drinkable. Nice surprise on this one.

May 21, 2009 Poured dark brown with an odd aroma. Flavor is roasted malt, chocolate, and a hint of coffee.

Apr 20, 2009 Sampler then pint @ the brewpub, listed as a Schwarz. Clear dark brown color, looks almost black. Lots of of butter on the nose (diacetyl). Taste fortunately is much better. Is very stout like with a lot of roast and coffee. The light butter works great with the other aspects, adding a candy-toffee-like aspect. Finishes very ashy.

Mar 20, 2006 A dark brown and ruby body with a khaki head. The aroma had sweet bell peppers with carrots and some apples. The taste had a little roasted walnut with a hint of coffee. There was lots of carbonation in the mouthfeel.

Feb 23, 2006 On tap at the brewpub, 2/20/06: Deep crimson with another nice sticky head. Nice mellow roasty flavors and an easy bitterness. I thought this was an excellent session beer and this is the one I chose from the sampler to drink.
