Oct 24, 2009 12 oz. shared bottle with a beer club member as one of his latest brews by mail. A rather thin pour with a black/brown hue and transparent enough to show some mahogany tones through the liquid. The head was off white, and quickly diminishing to bubbles, film and a small ring of foam. The aroma was subtle roast, coffee, and a hint of smoke. The flavor was again lightly roasted, somewhat light bodied, but with good carbonation and a moderately bitter finish

Sep 23, 2009 Love the color, though I didn’t pick up much on the nose. Easy drinking taste that is light and a little creamy. Good finish with a subtle hint of currants.

Sep 16, 2009 Pours deep mahogany into a shaker. Off-white head recedes to skim rim leaving no lacing. Smoky chocolate malt aromas. Crisp with upfront dark caramel and a lasting smoked metallic hop finish.

May 25, 2009 My Bottom Line:
This simple and dry Schwarzbier transports roasted bread crumbs into leafy hops for a bitter and bubbly quaffer.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam covers the dark brown.
-Furtive spicy hops are found in the nose.
-Light caramel is felt throughout.
-The body is lean, as is to be expectied of the style.
-This is very drinkable, but lacking character to really stand out in its style category.
