ross (1492), charlotte, North Carolina, USA Apr 25, 2008 22oz Bottle. This shit is really good actually, pours out a black color with a nice tan head on it. Smell is full of roasted malts, chocolate, caramel, some nutty flavors too. Taste is smooth and rich, very robust for a "lager" beer. Never had a schwarzbier near this good, probably never will either. Very easy to drink, light alcohol makes it all the more easy to consume. Great stuff.
SQNfan (384), Wheaton, Illinois, USA Jul 9, 2008 Black in color with a thin layer of brown lacing. The nose shows off coffee, dark caramel and malt. The nose is pretty simple but comes off as almost deep. In the mouth it is medium-bodied with good balance and a finish of bitter coffee. A strange combination of "heavy" attributes as well as "light". kegbear (54), Orange, California, USA Jul 4, 2008 Malty smokey aroma. Favor of burnt coffee, malt and smoke. Some vegetable tastes come through. Not my favorite Port Brewing beer. dmac (789), Toms River, New Jersey, USA Jul 2, 2008 22 oz bomber from the Beer Yard had at the end of the night so my notes could have been a little bit better. Pours a deep dark brown with a large foamy light beige head. Aroma is roasty, with notes of coffee and chocolate but also a little bit of mustyness. Flavor is even better then the aroma and the mustyness is missing and simply the raostiness from the malts shine through with a toasty slightly choclate flavor. One nice beer but the name made me think I was getting something light but instead it’s a pleasant dark lager instead. ChazMania (273), Pasadena, California, USA Jun 29, 2008 Bomber. I was very surprised by this being called a lager. It seems to me much more like a porter. Its dark and thick. The flavor has a very malt and roasty coffee flavor. Easy to drink but very thick and chewy which is different from other lagers that i’m familiar with. BMan1113VR (628), Los Angeles (and Dallas, TX), California, USA Jun 28, 2008 On tap served by Tomme. Apperently this is Serpents Stout runoff mash. Great, easy drinking Dark Lager. Pours with a thick, light brown head covering a very dark brown body. Roasted malt aroma that is a little salty. Taste is coffee and a bit salty but still finishes quite sweet. Slightly fizzy mouthfeel, but still goes down great.
