Jun 11, 2009 Very black pour, low head, light lace. Sweet and sour aroma. Almost no carbonation, sour with a sweet tinge of soy sauce or worcestershire. A sour alcoholic taste, with an unpleasant metallic aftertaste. Gross all the way around.

May 26, 2009 Bottle thanks to Soonah. Pours a amber hue of black with beige head. The aroma is ashy with some notes of caramel and Pepsi. The flavor is caramel and slight ashy bitterness with some fruity notes. It finishes on the sweet side with some chocolate and cola. Easy drinking.

Mar 20, 2009 Appearance: Pours a clear, dark reddish-brown body with a wispy, off-white head.
Smell: Chocolaty, darkened grains but, there again, is an infectious, tart-scented nose. For Heaven’s sake, Pete, get a grip!
Taste: Gah! Tart sourness from sip one. Here and there you’ll find tastes of chocolate, lightly darkened malts, and what seem to be spicy Noble hops. Though, sadly, the sharp tart sourness spoils the whole deal literally and figuratively.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium-high carbonation.
Drinkability: "Miner Mishap is truly a one-of-a-kind original." They’re right in that regard. Seemed like this would’ve been the one to have potential were it not for the quality control issues.

Feb 22, 2009 On tap at the brewery. Not bad. I’ve never had a schwarzbier before, so I have no idea how this holds up stylistically, but I really enjoyed this beer. I don’t much care for the other choc beers. Opaque, nearly black with no head. Dense but smooth body of chocolate, coffee, and sweet toasted malts.
