Feb 4, 2009 Always on tap at Toronado in SF. Very nice example of the schwarzbier style. Black appearance with a nice tan head. Coffee and roasted malt on the aroma. Has the kind of chocolate and coffee flavors you expect from a stout, with roasted malts, but much lighter on the body so you know it’s a lager.

Jan 28, 2009 On tap at Flavor in Santa Rosa.
This was a pretty tasty beer, it was almost like the dry roastiness of a porter meets Belgian candy sweetness. Liked it.

Dec 29, 2008 On tap at Obriens. I thought that I would like this one more than I did, although it was definitely quality. Dark brown to black in color with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, cocoa, and chocolate. Flavor of roasted malt, coffee, cocoa, earth with strong hints of chalk. Pretty good stuff here.
