| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 18, 2007 Deep browny red (almost black) with an almost non existent tan bubbly head. Roasty aroma with coffee and pumpernickle bread. There was a bit of skunk off the bottle initially, but it did not remain. Flavours of coffee, evenly roasted malts with a bit of pepper. Molases and some fruity bitters and maybe a trace of smoke. Quite nice

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 15, 2009 Bottle. Pours a black with little tan head. Aroma of roasted malts and coffee. Flavor is of rich coffee with a hint of sweetness. Has a dry finish. Not my favorite style, but it’s not too sweet and not too bitter. A nice beer.

Aroma of coffee, leather, light wooden and must notes. Taste is dry, cocoa, smoke, coffee grounds and leather. A little bit sourish. Dry mouthfeel. Better than their Vienna. puzzl (2657), New York, New York, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 28, 2008 My first schwarzibier! A smooth dark beer. Pretty much exactly what I expected...which surprised me. Minimal aroma. Smooth, slightly watery body and a nice long finish. More than passable buzzoven (333), Japan
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 17, 2008 I had tried a few Coedo bottles in the past and can’t recall being overly thrilled with them; but their Shikkoku ranks up there pretty high with me. Pours a dark black colour with a well-sized and lasting head. Milk, chocolate, some fig and raisin on the nose...smooth creamy taste with a rounded mouthfeel. Slightly nutty and fizzy on the tongue. Finish is slightly dry with a subtle roasted feeling creeping in. Very nice. KyotoLefty (1496), Kyoto, Japan

Aroma: Roasted, smoky, creamy relatively rich and dry. Flavor: rich black malt but not burnt. Not excessively bitter. Creamy and smooth. Slightly smoky. A touch of sweetness in the mouth. A touch of tangy sourness. Dry, roasted finish. Still a bit creamy. Lasts quite a while. A decent Schwarz.
