Mar 16, 2007 Not sure if I’m on the same page as these reviewers.
Malty caramel aroma, amber purplish color. A bit flat. Taste is sweet, note of grape. Smoky finish with a minor bite of hopes..

Feb 5, 2007 In a chilled mug. Poured dark brown (nearly black) with a weak, tan head. Semi-sweet aroma. Mild roasted malt taste with a somewhat unsettling, artificial sweet overtone that seems to dissipate as the mug goes down. Fairly dry finish and fairly thin mouthfeel overall. A middle of the pack schwarzbier in my estimation.

Jan 5, 2007 From a embossed 11.2 oz. green bottle with a notched freshness date on the back label.
Poured a clear reddish cola brown with a nice fluffy head that settled into a thin sudsy, slightly creamy, lacing.
Aromas of caramel covered milk chocolate, a little roasty and earthy mineral.
Good medium carbonation and a crisp, dryish, smooth light bodied mouthfeel.
Tastes of a lightly roasted malts, caramel and milky chocolate, mineral with some toasted grainy metallic edges, a subtle dark fruitiness, not much in the way hops, I wondering if the metallic came from hops and not the grains, and a dryish dark malty finish.
An o.k. Schwarzbier/Dunkel, passable drinkability, but it will be awhile before I try this again.

Dec 13, 2006 Small coarse beige head; dark reddish brown body. Sweet licorice aroma with notes of dried plums and cherries. Taste is earthy plums and licorice with an unexpectedly dry tobacco aftertaste. Quite nice, but too thin and dry in the taste to really appeal. (0.33l bottle.)
