Pours dark with a thin, fizzy tan head. Slight aroma of coffee. Taste of dark chocolate with a grainy flavor. Thin body and a dry finish.

Nov 30, 2009 Chocolate and coffee on the nose, big dark and handsome in the glass with a nice tan head. Nice chocolate and roasted malt on the tougue. Medium sweetness with a light touch of bitterness. Loses some points for palate, light bodied and thin in texture, highly carbonated, with a abrupt clean finish. If I am looking for a few good beers, this is one to have. If I am looking for one good beer, this ain’t it.

Nov 23, 2009 Deep brown in color with a short lived off white to tan head. Faint scents of malt and chocolate. Lighter mouth feel for the color of the beer, yielding a smooth medium body with tastes of roasted malt and finally finishing short.

Nov 19, 2009 No aroma to speak of, pours a pretty dark brown, low head that fades quickly. Somewhat thick mouth feel, but malty burnt caramel flavor overwhelms weak hops. Still quaffable, though

Nov 10, 2009 Bottle. This was pitted against Les Trois Mousquetaires schwarz, and this beer suffered for the comparison. Not nearly as aromatic or flavourful, this came across as a unidimensional papery lager with charred malt accents. Without the comparison I’d bet this would be okay, but compared to LTM it is almost bland.

Nov 1, 2009 Pours dark brown - a little light in my opinion - with very thin head. Aroma is light roasted malt. Mouthfeel very thin. Some roasted flavor. Sprecher Black Bavarian blows this out of the water.
