Aug 6, 2008 Pours a four finger light tan head that fades slowly, leaving some lace. Nice clear mahogany color. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Balanced nose. Flavor is slightly sweet malt, nothing special, some what watery bitter finish and not a five like I rated it back in my youth (early 90’s). Very disappointing maybe its because its contract brewed now and not the original. We can only hope that Dixie Brewing will rise from Katrina’s destruction. $1.85 for a 12oz bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, Ma.

Aug 3, 2008 12 oz bottle shared with Maniac Capital Ale House. Bit of roasty caramel malt aroma. Clear amber brown with small fine off-white head. Dark carmelized malts dominate flavor with a bit of toffee.
Slight fruityness. Light body with subdued spicey hop bitterness.
Moderately dry clean finish. Quite tatsty. Not sure if I wouldn’t classify as a dunkel rather than a schwarz.
