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.

Jul 3, 2008 On-tap at PP C’Bad. Pours dark brown with a creamy, offwhite head, rings of lace all the way down the glass. Smells dark and smokey malty. Tastes malty and smokey as well, slightly sweet. Medium body, good carbonation. Best schwarsbier I’ve ever had, which isn’t that many but whatever.

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.
