Herbal and floral aromatics hops are evident in this schwarzbier. Light malty side. Very good. Cletus (5059), Connecticut, USA

Smells soapy with a spicy touch and some chocolate hints. Tastes of tea, chocolate, some pepper with a bitter finish. Nice! Quevillon (1539), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 16, 2008 Bouteille de 750 ml, achté au Goblet (Dorion, Québec) le 5/6/08. Noire, peu de collet. Arome de malte roti et de chocolat foncé. Goût de café amère, un peu chocolaté, bien plaisant. Une autre bonne bière de LTM, surtout qu’il n’y a pas beaucoup de ce style faite et disponible au Québec! TaktikMTL (2786), Montréal-Nord, Quebec, Canada

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 5, 2008 The pour reveals a black color with brown highlights and a medium light brown head. Aroma of coacoa, molasses and burned malt. Solid flavor of coacoa, molasses, burnt malt and some bitterness in the end. The body is light to medium with a creamy, powdery texture and moderate carbonation. This is a very pleasant interpretation of the style. Rastacouere (5565), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 16, 2008 Objectively speaking:
Clean and smooth schwarzbier with a certain wet burnt grain leaning.
I like:
Beautiful appearance. The usual 3M clean lager character and mouthfeel. Excellent soft palate with no roast astringence. Delicate and layered chocolate flavours. Great sweet/dry balance and evolution.
I dislike:
I could not get rid of the "wet grain" impression. It’s a frequent flavour for me in dark lagers, but it was very pronounced here. Relatively simple malt profile for the style, minimally fruity and toasty. MJGG (423), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 1, 2008 Bouteille brune de 750 ml. Arômes de fumée et de grains torréfiés. Robe noire translucide, légère mousse mocha. Assez mince en bouche, le malt torréfié et fumé accompagne une touche de chocolat noir. Finale sur une note de fumée. Légèrement mieux balancée que la Trois-Mousquetaires Noire. Dickinsonbeer (3500), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 5, 2009 Thanks to TomDecapolis via trade with Denniz. Not quite was I was hoping for or expecting from a pretty good lager brewery- this seemed just a bit off and not quite near the style. Pours a nice deep dark almost black a bit hazy. Aroma is a bit too high in the chocoalte and roast malt- with some char and big doughy yeastiness. Flavor also chocolate malts, peppery spicy, earth, toasted malts a bit too bold and syrupy in the malts and not enough dry breqady toastiness or crisp cleanness on teh end- finishes just a bit too messy. Tastes and smells pretty good and is a good drinking beer, but not quite what I was expecing.
