| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 17, 2005 Dark lager with a quickly fading tan head. Roasty with a strong sense of molasses, especially in the taste. It’s a little thin on the palate and has a dry, somewhat hoppy finish. Cable (286), SE, Oklahoma, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 9, 2005 Sampled from bottle. Pours a clear, dark chocolate brown with a thin tan head. Both the aroma and flavor feature toast and coffee. Balanced with a dry finish. Medium-bodied and lightly carbonated. Simple and easy to drink."

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 3, 2005 Dark brown color with medium head. Surprisingly malty chocolate for a Schwarzbier. tiggmtl (4311), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 2, 2005 Somewhat lactic, berry-like aroma with some charred grains and vegetal notes. Deep, dark brown with fair tan head that lasts well. Caramel and burnt malt flavours with some vegetal notes and berry-like fruitiness. Seems to have a fair bit going on but at the same time feels somehow flat. Medium body with low carbonation. Bottle. Entered from notes.
