| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jan 3, 2010 Pours brown with thin tan head. Nose is toasted malt. Flavor is that same toasted malt. Color is way to light for a good Schwarzbier. Pretty much nothing there taste-wise or nose-wise. unclemattie (2446), Georgia, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 30, 2009 12oz twist-off bottle. Long lasting, light tan colored foamy head on to of a hazy light to medium brown color. Not as BLACK as a I feel a decent Schwarzbier should be . Aroma of musty toasted malts. A nice touch. Flavor is a semi sweet toasted malt character in a creamy textured body. Also a nice touch. Overall the flavor is a bit to light bodied but has a nice toasted bread essence to it. keith0718 (167), Olathe, Kansas, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Dec 28, 2009 Reminiscent of a lighter Odell 90 Schilling. Mediocre. I could drink it again, but I wouldn’t seek it out. bobaidan (370), Farmington, Connecticut, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 26, 2009 Pours medium amber with a good sized head. Aroma is mostly malt (caramel) with a hint of floral hops. Kind of thin in body, but lively with carbonation. Flavor is mild with some nuttiness and a touch of hops. Nothing special, but drinkable. ttutony (105), Texas, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Dec 20, 2009 This was alright, but it could have done with more of a roasted character that I have come to expect from schwarzbiers. Easy drinking, some good malt flavors. Pawola22 (805), Kansas City, Missouri, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 17, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a clear, ruby-mahogany colored body with a thin, off-white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is malty sweet with some caramels, honey, and brown sugar. A light butter and hint of spiced fruit. Flavor is a light malt sweetness with more of that honey from the aroma. Nutty with a light caramel and a bit of a leathery cocoa. Finishes with some fruit, a bit metallic, and a hint of roast with a very light bitterness. Fairly dry with a short aftertaste after a light, smooth, clean body. Overall, "blackened" it isn’t. Sweet, nutty, and lightly fruity with a hint of roast. Not bad, but unremarkable. drjay44 (828), Salida, Colorado, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 3, 2009 12 oz. bottle, shared at Brew-club. Pours a thin beige head, no lacing, over a dark brown (SRM 30) clear body....nose is coffee, with mild malts.....taste is light coffee, cocoa, slightly sour on the finish....mouth feel is light, carbonation high. This is a light take on the style. Tasting of 11/21/09.
