From tap in Pasadena. Pours dark brown with a redish glare and a lacing white head. Solid roasted malt and liqourice hops aroma, very inviting. Dry, roasted and liqourice flavour in a tasty and smooth mix. Lovely.

Dark brown. Very toasty nose with hints of roast and nutty complexity. A little bit watery and thin. The roast is cheap coffee with chocolate overtones.

1. From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 12/10/2007 (Gordon Biersch Chattanooga) Roast aroma. Small white head. Dark coloured smooth on the palate and malty with a lasting roast finish. 2. Cask Stillage from the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 26/09/2009 (Gordon Biersch Broomfield) Bready malt aroma. Dark coloured fruity and a little rich on the palate with some bitterness and dryness in a full malt finish.

On tap at the Rockville location: Pours a transparent dark mahogany with a clingy-lacing froth of off-white head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasty dark caramel and roasted malt and earthy hops. Starts with a creamy fullness and some semi-sweet roasty dark malt with decent German hop balance before a bittersweet finish with some lingering roastiness. A pretty decent Schwarzbier.
