| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 19, 2008 Bottle bought in Wyoming. Pours a dark brown/ruby color with a medium brown head. The aroma is full of malts, some smoke, and some nutty notes. The flavor is very good; loads of smoked malts, some burnt caramel, some meaty and smoky flavors, milk chocolate and some light hops in the finish. A creamy and full mouthfeel. Very nice. An excellent Lager. Breworthy (14), USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Oct 12, 2008 Aroma is overly malty and sweet.
Appearance is excellent. Nice dark, almost ruby color, very minimal head.
Flavor is quite sweet and intensely chocolate, especially for the style.
Palate is fine, a bit syrupy. A tad heavy for a schwartzbier.
Overall alright, the chocolate malt really overwhelms the entire beer. j12601 (1299), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 12, 2008 Bottle. Dark brown bordering on black, mildly transparent only at the bottom of the glass. Clean tan head which falls off slowly. Dark smoky aroma leads into a creamy mouth feel supported by a smoky roasted flavor. Vvery subtle finish giving yet more smoke. kyzr (1123), Belgrade, Montana, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 10, 2008 Dark pour with brown head. Nose of smoke and heavy roast. Flavor has a decent hit of smoke up front then fades to a light roast with hints of semi-sweet chocolate. Medium body with just a touch of sweetness on the finish. beerbill (1954), Laurel, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 23, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a moderate, fairly dense tan head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left very little lace. Pleasant aroma of smoke with just a little bit of roasted malt. The flavor is very similar. The smokiness is mild and not overpowering, and is very nice. Beyond the smoke, there is not much else going on with this beer. Still, an enjoyable brew. jetzler (622), oklahoma city, Oklahoma, USA
