Nov 11, 2009 Bottle from Kris Wines, London. ABV 4.8%, according to the label. Very dark brown with a huge beige head. Good roasted malts aroma with hints of espresso. Sweet roasted malts, some bitterness. Quite nice, though more stout character than schwarzbier in my opinion.

Feb 1, 2009 Pours black with brown edges, and a creamy tan head.
Smoky, roasted malt like a stout yet sweet honey and herbaceous notes like a belgian blonde.
Very mild notes of coffee and hops.
Nice bitterness in the flavours balanced by a vanilla sweetness.
Tones of burnt malt, mellow coffee and apricot fruit.
Very nice and light on the palate whilst retaining fairly complex flavours. A bitter aftertaste that ends kind of smoky.

Jan 5, 2009 On tap 01.05.09. Black brown, off white head. Aroma is chocolate, malt, and roasted nuts. Flavor is the same with an oily body, caramel, pine, coffee, dry finish. To me, this is more like a dry stout.

Jun 20, 2008 Bottle 330mL. Chocolate malty aroma. Very close to black beer with a hint of red in it. Good size head and good head retention (tan colour). Smooth tasting black beer. Chocolate malty taste. Not burnt tasting at all. Short finishing and a bit weak in flavour compared to other good black beers.

Apr 29, 2008 On tap at Mac’s Brewery, Wellington (NZ). Opaque black body with average beige creamy head. its malty/hoppy aroma carries black chocolate and roasty hints. Taste is OK but lacks complexity and ends with a decent bitter/roasty finish. Honest effort.
