Dark Horse Reserve Special Black Bier

Black pour with a brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, dark chocolate and dark fruit. Smooth with a slight alcohol and bitter chocolate finish.

12 oz bottle into a tulip. Pours dark brown/black with a thin brown coffee-colored head that dissipated fully. Aroma is a wonderful mix of dark fruit (plums/dates), sweet malt, roast coffee, molasses, and bitter dark chocolate. Tastes of coffee, bitter hops, dark chocolate, and a touch of sweetness. Finishes quite dry. Thin, somewhat watery mouthfeel, but smooth with very subtle carbonation. Delicious, and the aroma really makes this one a winner.

Pours black. Smells of heavy roasted malts, chocolate and caramel. Taste is full bodied and a little ashy with notes of chocolate, coffee and a hops bitter to finish. Nice balance.

Dark with an off white head. Aroma is sweet and malty, some creamy coffee. Flavor is sweet, malty, roasted coffee and roasted malts. Slightly bitter to balance it out. Nice.

Pours thick, curtain of black. The beer itself actually sticks to the side of the glass like oil. Beautiful orange tan head. Heavy lacing. Smells of roasted barley, molasses, brown sugar, and toffee. Roasted malts exploding on the taste buds. Great mouthfeel. Dry and slightly sour. Medium low hoppiness. Creamy, smooth and delicious.

Pours black creamy dark tan / brown head. Aroma is roasty, burned coffee, sweet malt. The taste is astonishingly wonderful! Chocolate bitter sweet joy.

Tap at Eulogy. Poured dark black. This has the flavor of a stout and the body of a porter. Nice mouthful and nicely carbonated. Great coffee flavor and awesome. Bitter finish.

Bottle from West Lakeview. Pours black/brown with a creamy dark head. Nose is roasty and floral, cocoa as well. On taste, clean bitterness with a nice acrid note that pulls it together. Slightly sweet and chocolatey. Very nice.
