Apr 17, 2008 Growler from brewery. Pours black with a thin chocolatey head (thinness may be due to air travel). The aroma was full of chocolate and roasted malts. It was a thick hearty beer with a very roasted flavor.

Apr 8, 2008 What a pleasant surprise. Black, not much head or lace. Very fine brussells. Raising taste followedby almost burnt caramel with a sweet malty wide finish. Very well crafted. Excellent for style. For 1.89 a bottle, it’s sofa king great.

Apr 7, 2008 (Bottle) Pours ink black, with a good sized brown head. Aroma of dark roasted malts and dry cocoa. Taste includes a very good mix of dark chocolate, vanilla, smoked caramel malts, and coffee. Well balanced. Carbonation was on the low end, and the palate was pretty average. This was a very good beer, but with a little more body it could have been even better. It reminded me of some of the schwarzbier I’ve enjoyed in Germany.
