Mar 22, 2005 An oily pour with just a mark of head. Rich, dark chocolate and burnt hazelnuts, espresso and no bullshit. This is a well crafted lager.

Mar 10, 2005 Updated: Feb 18, 2009 Huge complex LAGER, that has changed many minds about lagers. Burnt cocoa and rich honey and molasses notes. Lite smoke at first that leaves very quickly. Mocha and lite hop finish clean and relatively dry. great beer.

Oct 18, 2004 Pitch black coloured body with absolutely no head. Aroma of burnt malt, some caramel and a bit of overroasted coffee. Not the best aroma around, thats for sure. Medium-bodied; Burnt malt flavour with a smoky nuance behind. Aftertaste bittered by all the flavours-no sweetness at all! Overall, great to try, but lacking in so many dimensions! I sampled this pint from draught at Toronado in San Francisco, California on the second day of 10-June-2004...our first was spent in Sydney, Australia.

Sep 8, 2004 Tap. Opaque, medium-tan head. Licoriche-chocolate smell; typical schwarzbier. Full-bodied and rather nice. Raisin, prominent malts. Good stuff.

Jun 25, 2004 Black body, minimal ring of white foam crowning glass. Smells of espresso beans and coffee. Taste is more bitter than sweet with a comfortable hop force. Coffee, roasted dark and lovely, gently wrapped in mocha. Aftertaste is drying and bitter hops, almost IPAish. Sampled on draught at Toronado in San Francisco, CA.

Jun 10, 2004 On draught at Toronado. 05.22.04 Pours black and thick looking. Smells like a smoked out campfire in the morning over burnt coffee. All charred malts and minimal head. Chewy but thin texture. I didn’t realize this was a schwarz until just now and my impression makes much more sense. Probably my favorite of the style so far.
