| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 6, 2008 very dark on the pour. A nice sweet, malty aroma. Slightly fruity, coffee/chocolate and a almost toasty dryness at the end. Makings of a good roast, or chili beer, would also work for dessert. Maverick34 (701), New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 5, 2008 Bottled, 2007. Wow, shockingly good. Pours very dark with a slightly reddish hue and a moderate head. Significant lacing. Roasted malts aroma. Taste is chocs and caramels, very light mouthfeel. Hint of bitter to finish. Great beer. ¾ (4999), Colorado, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 1, 2008 500ml bottle. Proper dark brown/near-black color, with a small tan head, creamy and luscious. Decent roast, smoke, jerky and char in the nose, but not quite like stout, and not quite like most other schwarzbier I’ve had - there’s some fruit/berry aspects as well, and some candy sugar note too, which is strange. Flavor is crisp, moderately thick, creamy over the middle, with some light wood dry (but not dry), some toast, some chocolate malt and some sweeter chocolate syrup. A small soapy note pops up when warmer, but altogethor it’s a nice beer, very drinkable. dmac (1466), Toms River, New Jersey, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 28, 2008 Bottle from a trade. Thanks whoever sent this. Pours a dark hazelnut with a small tan head. Aromas of chocolate, roasted malts, ash, and coffee. Flavor is a little more muted with more chocolate and a mild hoppy thing. Pretty good, I think I liked the Kidd Lager better. xnoxhatex (1305), Grand Rapids/Chicago, Michigan, USA

This is a very good beer. kegqueen (13), USA
