| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Feb 21, 2004 Depp brown... almost black, but held up to the light it's clearly a deep brown color. The aroma is not promising at all... skunky corn and vegetables like a cheap lager. Flavor is a mild skunky and smoky vegetable, offensive initially on the lips and tongue, but loses most flavor by mid-drink, which make this not as bad. Still not a very drinkable beer. Finish is a dull, smoky dry feeling. GEOBRAU (182), Mesa, Arizona, USA

Sorry guys, I ain't buying it. worst schwarz i've ever had. ClarkVV (3578), Allston, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 16, 2004 Bottle. Nice rich reddish dark brown color, clear with some light -yellow mocha colored head. Faint aroma has some chocolate malt in it. Begins very sweet, but not cloyingly so. What struck me about this beer was the wonderful sweet balance that remained alongside the crisp clean lager mouthfeel and finish. Touch of anise/root flavor on the finish, some light coffee tones, barley and a hint of hops in the background. Very nicely done. bob32256 (171), Jacksonville, Florida, USA
