Commercial Description:
Late Fall into winter seasonal. More malt, more malt, more malt. Dark malt and the fact that light can't pass through gave this beer its name. Hearty in flavor, great in taste.

Growler. Clear, deep mahogany with a well-retained cap of smooth toffee head. Nose picked up a bevy of sweet, deep, dark malts... caramel, coffee, bittersweet chocolate, and some light spices were all packed in there, with floral hop highlights. Everything really popped in the flavor... coffee was the shining star, and was complemented by dry roasted chocolate and caramel, and surrounded by floral hop bitterness. Smooth malts pushed the brew across the palate, hoppage provided excellent bitter hints, and the finish was long and full of roasted coffee. This stuff is fantastic, and well worth a trip out there!

Bob’s most distinguishable beer for certain. Borders on a dry stout. Nice rosasted malts with coffee and chocolate profiles. Extremely drinkable, very good.

Big cheers to my Secret Santa for providing a growler of this one. Had it after a couple of weeks of sitting in the bottle and it held up very nicely.Rich brown body with a thin but creamy tan head which dissipated to pretty well nothing. Lots of roastiness and very smokey with some burnt caramel/chocolate sweetness and some coffee. A little thin perhaps and not necessarily what I expect in a schwarzbier, but solid.

Growler at Fall Beerfest In Toronto 2004. Deep brown in colour. Aroma was quite roasty, smokey and malty. Flavour had lots of roast, chocolate, burnt malt. Medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes roasty and long. The growler held up really well.

Woody, smokey aroma, dark brown, almost no head. This tasted of coffee, with some bitter and sour fruit together, giving the impression of an old style porter? Bitter, light bodied. Terrific, though it didn’t suit the style. Thanks to Beerhugger, via IPFreely.
