GABF 2006. Called Mausers Schwarzbier. Dark brown to near black. Nose is roasty malts, dark bread, and light treacle. Taste is dark bread, more roasted malts, treacle and light coffee-ish notes. Body is light-medium with mild carbonation. Ends with more roasty malts, treacle and dark bread.

Sampled at the 10th annual Brewgrass festival in Ashville. This may or may not be the same brew. They were calling it Mauser’s Schwartz bier at the festival…different recipe?? Who knows?? Pours walnut colored, and lightly hazy with a creamy head. Light aroma, light honey toasted grain with hints of molasses. Very light and hard to gather aroma. Flavor is also light with grains and molasses. Quite drinkable though. Easy light body with good carbonation levels. Easy drinking.

Pours black with a nice tan head. flavor and aroma are both that of smokey malt and this brew had a nice balance of hops. this is a nice brew.

they were out of the other 2 beers they had when we got there (they were the last group) but this schwazbier did not fail to impress. smooth and almost watery, this thinness did not bother me. it was very nice and it was highly drinkable. damn nice. sampled at brewgrass 04 on draught.

Brewgrass Festival, Asheville, NC 2003. Black as used motor oil. Tan head. Smoooooove mellow malty nose and flavor, and a full, rich choco-espresso finish. For a full flavored beer, finishes with quite a bit of finessee.

Nice dark color, small head, very thin. Aroma is slighltly smoky malts with a hint of hops. Flavor starts with smokey malts but quickly turns somewhat sour and finishes sour with a slight hint of bitterness.
