| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 5, 2008 11.2oz green bottle from The Lighthouse in Manchester. Pours a dark copper brown with ruby-red highlights and a thin light tan head. Smells strongly of caramel with coffee and chocolate playing strong supporting roles. Tastes very roasty with chocolate and coffee at the fore. Caramel and hints of continental hops are also present. Flavors are a bit more subtle than expected but mesh rather well. On the lighter side of medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. Not the most robust Schwarzbier I’ve tried, but there’s nothing wrong with this one. It’s tasty and very drinkable. A solid Schwarzbier. BlackDonald (1127), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 6, 2008 Rich and creamy, with some subtle dark fruits, mild carbonation, some dark wheat bread maltiness. A good dark beer, that does not hang on your palate like most dark beers do, this is very crisp and clean, retaining a sensibility that could be drank in large amounts and not kill your palate. andyhite (293), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA

Pours an extremely dark brown, with a slight amount of light penetration. It’s a relatively clear brew with a tan head. Not much to the nose here. It’s malty and a tiny bit yeasty like bread. Extremely mild. Subdued malts on the palate. I do not really find any hops to speak of, which I was expecting in a Schwarzbier. Nice crisp and clean finish. A light bodied beer with moderate carbonation. It has a silkiness to it though. My first exposure to a Schwarzbier. A good beer that just surprises with it’s milder flavors, smells, and ABV considering it’s appearance. I knew what to expect, and still I was surprised. A great beer for when you want multiple darks.
