Appearance: Pours a dark brown body with a fizzy, fading tan-colored head. Smell: Smoke-infused, dark roasted malt aroma with plenty of chocolate and dark caramel. Taste: This brew is loaded with an abundance of rich malt flavors, especially creamy chocolate and caramel, but there’s also a slight nuttiness to it. A subtle roasty ashen character soon devlops along with the smokiness. Finishes smooth with only a light, delicate spicy hop bitterness. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Creamy mouthfeel. Drinkability: A notably tasty, extremely drinkable lil’ schwarzbier. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar and should not be trusted.

Chattanooga, Tn. - Riverside Liquors - 12 oz bottle. Black as tar pour with a tight mocha head. Rich, earthy aroma with some black dirt notes, and some fresh lake water. Rich, chocolatey and caramelly flavor with some coffee thrown in there for good measure. Detect a smidgen of licorice in there as well. Mouthfeel - about on par for a Schwarz. Very solid Schwarz.

Reddish-brown body with a loose, sudsy beige head. Aroma of caramel and cocoa with light squash notes. Moderately sweet with some pleasing malt depth. Lightly chalky, mineral texture. A fair dark lager.

Bottle. Pours almost opaque black-brown with small head that lasts. Aroma is smoky caramel and spicy-metallic hops. Taste is well-balanced and similar to aroma. Palate is smooth, medium-bodied, with a slight tingle. Excellent lager.

Bottle sample at Keg Liqour Fest of Ale. Poured dark brown color with medium off-white fizzy head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Medium roasted dark malty aroma. Medium body with a sticky. Medium flavor of roasted malt with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Interesting solid brew.
