Dec 28, 2008 on tap-pours a tan head and mahogany color. Aroma is molasses/chocolate/anise, some peat. Taste is licorice/some peat, secondary earthy/acidic hops. Light side of medium body.

Feb 9, 2008 Color is a deep sable brown, head is tan and fairly persistent. Aroma is smoky with a hint of coffee, and has an odd waxy or dusty overtone to it. Flavor is decent, mainly burnt coffee but again with a waxy hint to it - not unpleasant, but strange. It has a good hoppy bite and a smooth, pleasant texture.

Aug 23, 2007 Good defintely not great. Had some chocolate and coffee in the flavor to go with too much raisins. Way too watered down. Not my favorite, although its a schwarzbier, and how many quality schwarzbiers have you had in the US?

Apr 25, 2006 Nearly opaque black pour has a thin off-white head. Aroma of sweet caramel and lightly roasted malts with a slightly earthy character. Starts with some toasty caramel and roasted dark malty sweetness with some grainy character and light hoppy bitterness. A decent, fairly authentic schwarzbier.

Apr 5, 2006 Draft @ downtown location. Very dark black, but not opaque, color with a small beige head. Roasted malt aroma with dark chocolate notes and a fair amount of black coffee. The flavor had a slightly tart beginning followed up with black coffee. Dry finish with a roasted bitterness as opposed to it seeming like a hop bitterness.

Mar 10, 2006 A mild stout, both in taste and alcohol. Not bad as a beer or a shwartzbeer, there’s chocolate here. Roasty and coffee-ish, even a hint of wood and smoke, but medium-thin mouthfeel. Also bleach from glass in nose. Malty sufficiently to be Quaffable.
