| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 20, 2009 Pint on tap in Utica. Pours a black opaque color, resembles a stout with a dark head. Aroma is very prominent and reached across the table with its roasty caramel goodness. Flavor is on the bitter side as expected with a little sweetness, heavy malt character. Palate is full and very satisfying. Best Schwarzbier I have had in a while.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 10, 2009 After too much Zonenkinder, time for a bottle of this. Very sweet nose, a little stale roast with caramel. Lighter-than-Coke pour with a sudsy light brown head. Taste initially very sweet, a ltitle bite from the roast up front, and then dries out magnificently. Light sourness with slightly nutty brown ale notes. Medium-light body, smooth, quite nice, really. Surprising depth of flavor for a Matt beer, though my mildly burnt tongue may be shielding my senses from the brunt. No berries, and not a Schwarzbier. Tessic (481), Brantford, Ontario, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 10, 2009 This shwarzbier poured a deep black colour with a quickly lived tan coloured head. To the nose there are scents of caramel, sweet malts and brown sugar. First swig was heavy flavoured but yet slightly watery for a shwarz. Flavours of molassas, malt and caramel most prodominent. Finish is thick and almot oily with a flavour of sweet malts lingering. ALCOHOLNIZM (68), WARWICK, USA

TASTES SLIGHTLY LIKE NUTTY CHOCOLATE AND MALT NOT OVER POWERING VERY LIGHT NOT BAD NOT GREAT, FLAVOR JUST DOSN’T HAVE MUCH UMPH. Neeskens (18), Sweden
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 28, 2009 Pours dark, no surprise, with a medium head. While still quite malty like all black lagers, this is more on the hoppy side than the malty sweet one. A little sour taste lurking in the back. A little bit too thin to compete with the best black lagers. goozen (1102), Leiden, Netherlands
