| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 1, 2007 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. stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA
