very dark with a long lasting creamy head. aroma is really nice - malt, coffee, smoke chocolate, slight whiskey. light, almost juicy body. more caramel, vanilla, light smoke. The body is unexpectedly light. egg cream like. my favorite so far from fort collins.

A dark reddish brown lager with a thick moka head, receeding. A pleasant aroma of chocolate, plums, a bit of soy sauce, and light peated notes. In mouth, a decent schwarzbier, with light chocolate notes, some lactic points, nice roated peaty notes. A very pleasant beer, given the age. Bought at Half Time, Summer 2008.

heavy on the chocolate and caramel flavors, this black lager leaves an oily finish on the tongue that keeps the smoky sugary flavor lasting well after its gone. good stuff if you like your black lager on the more stout-ish side.

12oz. Bottle: Complex aroma of malts, roasting, burnt grain, charcoal, smoke, slight chocolate, slight coffee, a hint of tobacco. Poured dark brown in color with a small, off-white head that diminished but lasted around the edges. Clear. Not sparkling. A few medium-sized particles throughout. Complex flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of roasted malt, light chocolate, tobacco, slight coffee, light caramel, light smoke, slight vanilla, and a hint of wood. Medium body. Lightly chalky texture. Average carbonation. Chocolate, roasted malt, caramel, tobacco finish is lightly chalky.

On tap. Pours a gentle black. A little unexpected. Nice smoky flavors yet clean enough to enjoy several. Good job on a beer that I had low expectations for.

nice roasty flavor overall and good balance. A bit light for a black lager, but nice smokey flavor.

Very dark brown with a quick head. Coffee/chocolate and smoked malt aromas. Taste is roasty, smoky, sweet, with hints of caramel. Clean, crisp mouthfeel with a smooth chocolaty maltiness spread throughout. Good flavor balance.

pours a deep, very dark brown almost black with a nice beige head. hard to get a sufficient smell out of this one for some reason. maybe chocolate and some malt with maybe yeast? nice smooth taste though, definitely roasty and malty in this one. every word that can describe being warm can describe this beer. makes my insides tingle and has no aftertaste. pretty smooth for a dark beer in my opinion. like others said though, i didnt expect this type of beer from the label. could have been more specific with that.
