Apr 19, 2008 12 oz Bottle-Pours black w/a decent head & good carbonation. Chocolate/carbonated aroma. Flavors of roasted malt & chocolate w/some initial sweetness but a bitter malt finish. Did have a lot of carbonation to it. Maybe it is just the nature of this style as this is my 1st Schwarzbier, but I thought this beer lacked a definite style, just had too much going on. It reminded me of a good Porter, but the carbonation took away from that flavor. Just OK.

Apr 19, 2008 Nice chocolate aroma.
Pours black with some red highlights. Tatse is mostly dark malts with a molasses tint. Big off-white head with some lacing.
Good beer overall good introduction to craft beers. Not a big fan of sweet beers.

Apr 16, 2008 Good surprise. Close to flavor of Köstritzer, which means lots of roasted soft black malt and with a good dusty finish.

Apr 14, 2008 One of my very first "dark" lagers. Not too impressed. A definite roasted, malty taste, slightly on the bitter side.

Apr 12, 2008 12oz bottle. This is a bottle that is recalled. Did not see any glass chunks in this. Wish me luck. Pours dark brown with a small white head. Aroma is nice roastiness though smooth and clean, graham crackers, toast. Taste is clean, slightly roasty with a touch of chocolate. Pretty light and very drinkable. Medium-light bodied. I don’t think I’ve had a Schwarzbier before but this was pretty tasty. Certainly the best Sam Adams beer I’ve had.

Apr 11, 2008 another eh beer from sam. scent is not particularly strong. pours dark with a cream-colored head with decent retention. taste is caramel, cocoa and some decent maltiness. flavor disappears pretty quickly, but overall not a bad lager. better than some of their beers.
