Jul 7, 2007 Roasty coffee smells from a dark brown/black pour, with some malty drying tastes. Light bodied, like all schwarzbiers despite the roasty character and isn’t very full bodied I thought. This is more a knock against the style than the particular beer though, and It is decent for a schwarzbier. not my favorite but drinkable.

May 28, 2007 (Tap) Pours a dark brown color with a nice tan head. Aroma of sweet caramel. Taste includes some toffee, brown sugar, and caramel. Mouthfeel was just a bit thin, but not too bad. Lacing was average. Seemed to be well balanced, and easy to drink. I agree that this is a pretty good session beer.

May 17, 2007 On tap at the San Jose location. This beer is a handsome black with a pillowy light tan head that has great retention and lacing. The aroma is dark, dusty, roasty and perhaps sweaty. It is medium light in the mouth; very smooth with a crisp finish. The roastiness is on the subtle side, but provides the main flavor here. This is the best beer I’ve had from Gordon Biersch and the best beer I’ve had in San Jose. What a great session beer.

May 2, 2007 Tap: This has a deep dark brown body with a creamy ecru head. The aroma carries some lightly roasted malts, dark caramel, and lightly smoked nuts. A bit watery, but still delivering a moderately sweet, lightly roasted & toasted malt flavor with a mildly bitter finish. Quaffable. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Biersch Brewery Restaurant, Bolingbrook, IL<font size=-1>

May 1, 2007 Pours dark brownish black w/ good lacing. Hangs in there forever. Aroma is slightly roasted. Medium nectar w/ mellow, cotton textured effers. Malty w/ a mild roasted chracter. Not much else to speak of. The finish is bittered mildly w/ a lingering roast component.

Mar 4, 2007 Sampled at one of their brewhouses in San Jose. Has a pour like an stout and dark. Had a smooth drink and a decent flavor. Had very little aftertaste and very little flavor. Overall one of the best from GB but not great."
