Sep 28, 2009 Pours dark brown with tinged of ruby. Aroma was hints of smoke and molasses, prunes and chocolate malts. Nice mouthfeel with a more plummy flavor and a nice toasty finish.

Jul 8, 2009 Tap at ACBF. Aroma of nuts, not much else...maybe some mineral water elements. Flavor the same with a touch of coffee. Astringent. Meh.

Jul 7, 2009 Pours with a dark brown body topped by a medium thick head with some lacing. It’s slightly sweet yet bitter with a roasty note and some coffee notes. Medium bodied, well carbonated and a touch dry.

Jun 21, 2009 On draft at ACBF09. Pours black with a small head. Aroma of roasted malt and burnt notes. Not very pleasant. Flavor of iced tea, sweet malt. Bland and bad.

Jun 17, 2009 6/17/09 on draft at the brewery. Aroma is all sweet/sour malt with a slight fruity ester tone. Appearance is dark brown with a well maintained cream colored head. Flavor is sweet/sour malt forward with a slightly earthy finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with light graininess and a medium/high carb texture. Overall, extremely sessionable for such a dark brew, much more similar to european dark lagers than the new world examples.

May 24, 2009 On tap at City Beer. This black lager poured with a thin tan head and a treacle aroma. There is a solid smoked malt flavor with some coffee and a hint of hop bitterness. A nice lager.

Apr 25, 2009 On tap at Speakeasy. Real nice schwarzbier. Black in color with a light tan head. Really roasty aroma with some coffee. Flavor is roasted malt, burnt toast, coffee, nuts, and smoke. Very tasty stuff. Smoke lingers on the finish. Palate a little light but not bad for the style.
