This beer pours a clear, dark warm-brown color with a short-lived, thick beige head with a little lacing left behind. The aroma is fat with roasted grains, smokey peat, coffee, chocolate and cellar. The flavor is well balanced and extremely easy to drink. It starts lightly sweet and gives away to an average-length, lightly bitter finish. The body has a nice mouth-feel—thick with light carbonation. I would totally seek this brew out again. Yum!

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.

Bottle from Capone’s. Deep brown pour with 1-finger tan head. Aroma of roasty, slightly rauchy malt, tart cherry, brown sugar, hops, molasses, tobacco...very unique aroma here. The flavor is very roasty chocolatey malty, with hops, brown sugar, nuts, and slight fine tobacco hints. Nicely rich, complex palate. This one is wonderful.

12 oz bottle from Total Wine pours medium dark brown with an oily tan head. Great roasty smell with a hint of smoke. Nice rich lagered, brown, malty, roasted, oat flavor and medium body. Highly drinkable. A bit of bitterness and and dryness matches the body well. Very smooth and a great surprise. Tasted like a smooth, lighter brown ale. Yum.

Brown. Very nice nose, with hints of dried powdery chocolate pieces, chalk, tobacco, coffee, mocha and tiramisu. Flavor is very rich and smooth, loaded with toffee, caramel, chocolate and mocha flavors, with hints of bark along with a light floral hop finish. Soft & buttery mouthfeel. Very flavorful and full in body, especially for it’s size and style.

Bottle from the_epeeist. Very well done. Cola-like, fizzy pour. Great bitter orange peel and coffee aroma, oaky and musty. Good complexity, both fruity and roasty. This goes down real easily and seems especially sessionable. A beer that seems like a blend of a pure, fruity summer lager and a porter. I wish I could get this stuff locally, it would be great for parties.

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.

Black-ruby. Fast creamy head. Aroma: Smoked chocolate malt. Flavor: Roasted coffee, chocolate. Coffee finish. This could pass for a good Porter and for it’s type, I was impressed. I f Billy the Kid brewed this, I wat to be an Outlaw!
