Jan 17, 2008 A great example of the Schwarzbier style. Roasted barley malts come through big time. Not too hoppy. Nice dark color. Could be the best offering from Sam Adams. Tough to find in a six pack but is widely available in the brewmaster’s packs.

Jan 16, 2008 Great lager. Pours a dark black with nice cream head. Head disappears quickly. Caramel aroma with slightly burnt aftertaste. Clean on the palate.

Jan 16, 2008 Updated: Nov 21, 2008Dark brown, shows clear red when you hold it up to a light. very nice licorice and burnt malts. moderate hops give it needed bite. i wish more breweries would do this style.

Jan 11, 2008 This beer may very well be my personal favorite at the moment. I got it in a variety pack and haven’t stopped searching it out since.

Jan 11, 2008 Updated: Jan 24, 2008Bottle: some liquorice, malty, toasty, burnt caramel, some roasted notes and bitter chocolate, the finish is a bit on the dry side, pretty nice beer overall.

Jan 10, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Aroma is full of roasted malt and a slight hint of bitter hops. Pours a deep and dark brownish-black, virtually opaque with about 1.5-3 fingers worth of fluffy brownish crown with great retention and decent fingery lacing. Flavour is full of roasted malt with toffee, caramel and a hint of some bitter chocolate. Strong malt backbone with hops causing a clean finish but disappearing from the palate at the end of the taste. Medium-plus bodied with a semi-creamy mouthfeel and spritely carbonation. I thought it was too carbonated for my liking but I think this beer gets better as it warms up. Not as thick-bodied as a stout or porter, so a great alternative for people who like beers with a thinner body yet strong roasty and malty flavour. Overall a great beer that is widely available and a safe choice at any bar.
