Jun 14, 2008 Enjoyed this on tap at Papago’s in Scottsdale, and ended up taking home a bomber from their fridge. Elegant pour with a faint taste of hazlenut and banana. Not an ambitious dark lager, but thuroughly enjoyable and something I’d be happy to have waiting for me on tap.

Jun 9, 2008 Bottle from Liwourama. Very interesting beer indeed. I thought the beer had a bit of sourness to it, but it was kinda watery. I didn’t detect chocolate at all like the add says. Very different

Jun 2, 2008 Pours a mahagony color with a decentl tan head. Aroma of chocolate, nuts, malt and coffee. Taste is chocolate, nuts with a watery body and a strange metallic dirt finish.

Mar 14, 2008 Updated: Mar 19, 2008bottle. odd to find this with a fancy foil wrapper on the top. pours brown with small white head. nose is sour, mildly roasty. flavor is really sour, sort of nutty. off putting sourness that doesn’t belong.

Jul 24, 2007 Thank you Saarlander for this one. 22oz, no date. Hazy copper orange with a one finger beige head, decent retention. Sweet malts in addition to peanut shells, dry toast, and a bit of fruity yeast. Flavor is more toast and peanut shells with a slightly metallic and tangy finish. A smidge of roast came next. Low bitterness. Low to moderate carbonation with a watery body. This ended up being kinda sucky.

Jul 11, 2007 Bomber thanks to Saarlander in the mystery swap 2.0. Pours a light brown color- why is this called black beer? Thin head and clear. Aroma is acetaldehyde, solvent, dms and phenols with hintsof toast and nuts- meh. Light toast malts, some chocolate and ashy burnt hints, kinda brown-ale like with more green apple. Starts off crisp and clean and easy drinking, but towards the end, it gets too solvent like. I liked the double common beer better.

Jul 7, 2007 Bottle from Saarlander: This one pours a dark brown with a small tan head. I smell a bit of a nut smell, more like peanut than any other nut. It’s got a bit of a yeasty smell. Initial taste is somewhat sweet, but the true flavor quickly comes through. This one is think on the palate, but I did notice a bit of a nutty taste, a bit of roastiness, and even soft dark fruit. This one is easy drinking. A good brew, but nothing to write home about.
