Pours a translucent dark brown with ruby highlights, beige head, decient retention, slight lacing. Aroma is similar to a schwartz beer, slight dark roast. Flavor is slightly sweet dark roast, very slight dark fruit with light alcohol spice, slight dark grain bitter, very slight hop bitter. Palate is medium-high carbonation, medium body. Very good beer.....Reminded me of what I thought a good schwartz beer would taste like, just turns out what I wanted would be a black ale instead of a black lager......Good stuff! and yes, I said "Slight" alot in this rating..... fidel (1015), Livermore, California, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | May 25, 2008 Initially, I was a little worried when I took a deep breath of 1554. The scent was the only thing I was not sompletely sold on. This beer has a great, deep color, and then I tasted it, and could not stop. Flavor is fairly complex and goes down smooth, leaving that same feeling on the roof of your mouth. Very good beer! Narnad (725), Wonder Lake, Illinois, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 24, 2008 Pours dark carmel/brown with red huge. Nice light head occurs from pour but dissipates quickly. Aroma is very malty with some nuttiness and a slight sweet endnote. This beers mouth feel is on the heavier side with fine carbonation on tongue. Flavor is complex mixture starting off with a malty/nutty bite which then moves into a very toasted, almost burnt grain flavor and ends with a slight sweet dry flavor that sticks around for a bit. Overall a decent beer that I will get again. pet3rman (206), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 20, 2008 Dark brown with a thin head, a slight and simple aroma with hints of malt, and alcohol, medium creamy roasted malt flavour fading to a warm smokey black cherry residue. An enjoyable palate for an everyday beer. EHopper (348), Minnesota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 17, 2008 Dark brown but so clear that when you hold it to a strong light the whole glass goes carmel color. Light coffee and malt aroma, with a nice, smooth yet bright flavor of sweet malt and coffee with hints of cocoa. Not much finish, small bitter bite in the back over the throat. Someone fun to serve with friends.
