Draft pour is dark brown with a puffy tan head. Chocolate and toffee aromas. Thick creamy texture and a good bitter chocolate taste. I never realized it was only 4.1% until now and that explains why it’s so easy to drink, but also that means i may go with something else on my breaks at work.

12oz bottle. Dark brown pour with only tiny wisps of head. Aroma is mildly smokey and chocolaty. Flavors are much the same. Smokey, mildly roasty. This is way better than I had expected.

Yeah, so I didn’t read the label so well and was expecting a light lager. Imagine my surprise! Dark brown pour with small beige disappearing head. Aromas of roasted chocolate malts, burnt sugar, toffee, and molasses. Bit of smoke. Sweet, but not cloying or heavy. A pleasant surprise.

Poured from the bottle to a dark brown with medium thick bidge head that lingered thru mid-glass and left okay lacing. Aroma was a pleasant mixture of chocolate malt with a hint of smoked wood. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and the taste highlights the choclate, toffe and hint of smoke found in the nose. Unlike other smoked beers I have that are way too smokly, this was just the right tough to offest the malty sweetness, ending in a nice rounded finish. I’d like to have this again, next time with grilled sausage.

Bottle. Pours a fairly dark brown with a sudsy tan head. Aromas are a little bit chocolatey with a touch of spice and some malt roastiness. Flavor is kind of thin but a nice mix of dark and chocolate malt.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Greens Discount Beverage - Atlanta (Buford Hwy), 5/15/09
Part of the totally and completely made up"The Geororodanda Beer Sampling Party"

Aroma: Roasty, coffee, spicey, chocolate
Appearance: Dark brown color with a slight red hue, almost no head
Flavor: Almost all smoked coffee malts here
Palate: Medium body, kind of drinks like a cross between a dark lager and a porter
Overall Impression: I thought it was pretty solid, but man, there is a lot of coffee there...smoke/coffee is the domination here

Pours translucent black with a small tan head. Smoke and chocolate nose. Rather thin, malty flavor with some acrid bad coffee taste. Watery mouthfeel. I guess I don’t like Scharzbier much.

Pours clear dark-brown, black in the glass with some light getting in around the edges of the glass. Has a one-finger tan head, good lacing. The smoke and coffee aromas are very strong, with some chocolate and apple in the background. Light, well carbonated body. Flavors of smoke and apple, with some bread and citrus flavors. Well balanced and drinkable.
