Sep 8, 2008 As was said before, this one poured chocolate brown with a quickly fading tan head. The chocolate and raisins were predominant in the nose and taste along with a slightly oily roast. Virtually no hops. It went down well and is a good dessert beer, even for a lager. It has a lot of body for a lager.

Aug 20, 2008 botle from soonah: pours a chocolate brown with a small tan head. the aroma is full of chocolate and just hints of roast, some sweet malts also. the flavour is a bit watered and sweet more so than normal, plenty of chcolate and very little roast. finishes quick with milk chocolate.

Aug 12, 2008 Thanks to Ian for hooking me up with this Okie beer. Chocolaty black pour with little head. Sweet chocolate malt aroma. Taste is sweet and malty. A sweeter swarzbier than I normally like, but not bad.

Aug 7, 2008 Sampled from bottle and draft at the brewery. My favorite from Choc, with the BDG a close second. It’s not often one can sample a bottle-conditioned black lager in middle America, so here’s your chance - and an excellent example of the style. Light smoke, dry roastiness with a crisp, clean finish.

Jul 19, 2008 12 oz Bottle. Pours a very attractive deep black color with a nice looking tan head that disappears a little too quick Mouth feel was medium-to-thin and even a bit of dryness in the end. Was not impressed. Label tells a nic elittle story.

Jul 16, 2008 Beer of the Month Club Selection: Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a dark brown body, opaque, with spent yeast sediment, topped with a small, tan, quickly diminishing head. Chocolate maltiness in the aroma, though a bit light on the nose. Flavor is bittersweet, with a light-medium body, and crisp carbonation. This Schwarz has a bit of dryness and bitterness on the palate, with low aftertaste. The finish is a little underwhelming (watery) though not too bad. I’d drink it again :)

Jul 14, 2008 Not my favorite style but a nice interpretation. Not a lot of aroma which is typical. Flavor is mostly roasted, smoky malt.
