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, 2004 Dark bronze with ruby and no head or lacing. The aroma is sweet with malts & a nice hoppy bite. Odd to find this was a lager. The flavor is well balanced and smooth with a nutty/caramel aftertaste. not bad for a lager!

May 20, 2003 Dark brown, almost black. Little head and full bodied. The fire brewed woody aroma is more noticeable is this beer than others from Max Lagers. Very sweet, carmalized and chocolate malts. A little coffee taste is detected as well. You can notice some hops on the aftertaste, but the balance is not quite right. Very average beer.

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.
