Dec 31, 2008 Tap at the Linkery. Deep dark brown beer. Aroma of cocoa and coffee. Nice dark malts and a toasted wheaty graininess. Soft cocoa flavour and a rich lingering maltiness. Nice deep roastiness on the back with a lingering rich chocolately flavour. An excellent schwartzbier.

Nov 12, 2005 Draft. Black beer with a big cocoa head. Roasty aroma. Roasty flavor with chocolate, some coffee, and sweet malt. Lingering roastiness. Medium bodied. Nice balance. This could easily be a stout.

Nov 7, 2009 Draft @ Hopmonk. Pours a dense, dark chocolate-brown color; light-tan head with good retention and scattered, fine-bubbled lacing. Lots of highly roasted malts, coffee, touches of nougat and toasted malts in the nose; nicely dry; some dark chocolate and plenty of roast; maybe the most generous schwarzbier aroma I can think of. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: lots of heavily roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and a hint of lightly bitter mineral notes; very nice roastiness, with a lightly sweet cola character present as well; at the core, an easy-drinking and highly complex dark lager; generous and roasty, with no alcohol apparent. Lengthy finish: roasted malts, coffee, dark chocolate; nicely dry and again, exceptionally complex. Nice.

Jan 5, 2007 Pours with a dark brown to black body topped by a medium thick head with some lacing. It’s sweet yet bitter and roasty with a nice coffee and malt character and a slightly piney hoppiness showing through. Medium bodied and smooth.

Oct 25, 2004 Tap @ Toronado. The Moonlight web site calls it a Black Strong Lager, which is similar to the Death and Taxes. Black in color with a thick foamy brown head. Deeply rich, chocolate, and burnt malts. I thought it was a porter.

Nov 19, 2008 On tap @ O’Brien’s. Pours a deep brown almost black with a thin beige head. Fresh coffee on the nose as well as some toasted malts. Flavor was also of fresh brewed coffee, toasted malts and cocoa dust.

Dec 28, 2006 Tap @ O’Brien’s. Very dark upon pouring. Lovely roasted coffee flavor. Very full flavored. Tasted like a fairly strong stout to me. Good stuff.

Dec 27, 2006 Draft at O’Brien’s. Most likely the best schwarzbier I have ever had. The Aroma was actuall prett weak coming off this Black Black beer with very little head, but the flavor more than made up for it. Lots of chocolate and coffee flavors. Very roasty and burnt malts with a nice hop bite that made me think of Bitter Black Coffee. Very good.
