jtw (916), farmington, Michigan, USA Oct 21, 2005 just bought a 6 pack of this. why do i keep buying leopold brothers’ beer? i’ve been disappointed in everything, including this one. looks exactly like a schwarzbier ought to, dark beer with a lasting tan head. but the aroma is too sour, buttery and brownie-like. more sourness--can this brewery make a beer that doesn’t have that house yeast sourness? get past the sourness, and it finishes okay.... SubstanceT (1087), Saint Louis, Missouri, USA Jun 12, 2005 So I was up at the brewery mack in March of 05 and I had what they called a dunkel. It was pretty bad. I was the first to add this beer as a dunkel but then I noticed that this beer was removed. Probably because they are calling it their schwarzbier on ratebeer. Whatever, the beer was not that good. Beer_guy65 (1), USA does not count May 23, 2005 This usually good beer was a poor representation of what a schwartzbier should be. The beer has been good in the past, but how this is served is beyond me. No real nose, sour flavors. Ony thing that makes this a schwartzbier is the color. Schroppfy (1733), Ohio, USA Feb 6, 2004 Quite carbonated, indeed, and good and roasty - not rounded and full like some of the better schwarzes - too much of the house yeast sourness going on - I still found it drinkable and challenging, but the house character of this brewery is getting so one note I really can't hack it anymore. jaymobrown (1300), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 23, 2003 Really dark appearance. Fairly thin but kicks like a mule. Heavily carbinated which gives a decent feel. Roasted dark malt flavors. Clean short end.
