bigbish (115), USA Jan 16, 2007 A very good Schwarzbier. Lots of coffee, chocolate and carmel flavors. The aroma is similar. A very dark brown color blocks out the light. I could drink a lot of this stuff. This is how you get people turned onto dark beer.
dchmela (833), Orlando, Florida, USA Dec 4, 2008 Pours black with a thin off white head. Smoky, caramel malt aroma. Slightly smoky malty taste with nice roasted grain. Nice easy drinking swarzbier and good use of the smoked malt. obxdude10 (1403), Reading, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 27, 2008 Pretty average schwarzbier. The body is a little watery and at times bland. I like the dark brown color with a bit of an orange hue. The head is decent at first, but then fades to almost nothingness, and leaves very little lacing around the glass. The nose has hints of sweet maltiness and caramel. The flavors make this beer drinkable but not exceptional, with notes of caramel, vanilla, coffee and a slight hint of milk chocolate. The finish is a little light and watery, as mentioned, but features a nice flavor of cream and vanilla. This is a very drinkable and smooth lager, but nothing at all exciting. IlanMan (632), Winona, Minnesota, USA Oct 20, 2008 Bottle: Dark copper brown pour with a strong chocolate and roaste malt aroma. Very burnt and coffeeee flavor. Smoke was also there but blended pretty well. Good brew. douglas88 (942), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Oct 19, 2008 Bottle bought in Wyoming. Pours a dark brown/ruby color with a medium brown head. The aroma is full of malts, some smoke, and some nutty notes. The flavor is very good; loads of smoked malts, some burnt caramel, some meaty and smoky flavors, milk chocolate and some light hops in the finish. A creamy and full mouthfeel. Very nice. An excellent Lager. Breworthy (14), USA Oct 12, 2008 Aroma is overly malty and sweet.
Appearance is excellent. Nice dark, almost ruby color, very minimal head.
Flavor is quite sweet and intensely chocolate, especially for the style.
Palate is fine, a bit syrupy. A tad heavy for a schwartzbier.
Overall alright, the chocolate malt really overwhelms the entire beer.
