| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 31, 2009 Hand bottle from bman1113vr. I never would have guessed schwarzbier. Deep amber color with a foamy khaki head. Wet cereal grain nose with some white sugar sweetness and some wood. The flavor was a caramel sweetness with some wet burnt toast, charred barrel and some winey alcohol in the finish. There is a tangy pinch in the background here that may be from the barrel. angrypirate06 (709), Texas, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 14, 2009 22oz bottle acquired in trade with lb4lb (thanks!). Poured a deep, dark orange/amber (almost brown) color wtih an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of strong woody/oakiness, earthy, roasty, with light chocolate, and a trace of bourbon. The earthy/woodiness definitely dominates the aromas. Tastes of vanilla, whisky (more than the aromas), caramel, lighter roast, and vanilla. Body a bit on the thinner side. jumpjet2k (145), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 30, 2009 On tap. Had a dark, near-black color, though some burgundy shone through. Aroma was definitely woody with a hint of bourbon. Mellow bitterness combined with woodiness and a bit of alcohol to make a fairly well-balanced brew. Very smooth, with a tingly combination of the alcohol and carbonation. Overall, a good and balanced aged beer.
