Mar 15, 2009 Pours a nice dark color with a frothy head that just barely remains and clings to the glass all the way down. Slight coffe aroma...the only thing present on the pallate is a light metallic finish. Pretty good.

Mar 11, 2009 Pours super dark brown or black with a two finger off white head. Malty aroma overtone that up close degenerates into grasses; which is ok, but weird for a claimed schwarz. taste is far more usual with roasted malts, but a highly metallic aftertaste. Not terrible.

Mar 7, 2009 Aroma is subtle - dry corn and faint burnt toast. Appearance is see through black with a thin white head. Flavor is much as you would expect - a thin lager with a roasty burnt finish. Little hop presence - several people said they could detect a spice rub type of flavor... hmm. It is from Texas...

Mar 5, 2009 Pours clear dark reddish brown with a fluffy 3 finger tan head that leaves some decent lacing. Aroma is of burnt sugar, caramel, roast, some nutty notes and some toasted grain. Flavor is roast, toast, light caramel, a little coffee, toasted almond and a hint of grass. Finish is grassy, herbal, and bitter hops along with some roast. Palate is thin, somewhat chalky and crisp on the finish. Not bad overall, a cheap intro to the style if nothing else.

Mar 3, 2009 Bottle. Black, though not opaque, body with a fizzy, cola-like head that mostly disappears. The aroma is mostly roasted/burnt malts, grain and strong coffee. The flavor is dominated by burnt malts. It is moderately sweet and lightly bitter and finishes lightly sweet and lightly bitter. There is a vinegary, tart taste throughout. Thin to medium body with a watery texture that turns a little gritty in the finish. Lively carbonation. The burnt aroma and flavor and graininess make this beer unrefined and more than a little rough around the edges.
