thanks John! ... pours a dark as midnite ...good head ring .. dark roasty meaty smell like a hyenas bbq .. i am digging this ... oily and easy to drink .. the abv works .. nice!

Bottle from New Beer. Pours a dark brown black body with 1 finger creamy tan head. Chocolate sweet malty aroma. Creamy malty body with caramel and toffee. A malty milkshake of enjoyment.

This reminds me of a really good porter. A strong dark lager with a small tan head. I had this for the first time at JK O’Donnells. Goes very well with a filling meal. Great social drink

<i>[ Trade by Papsoe ].</i> Clear medium to dark black color with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, fully - mostly lasting, light beige head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, sweet dark bread, roasted, brown rye bread dough - sour bread dough, peat. Flavor is moderate to haevy sweet and bitter with a long to average duration. Bitternes is peat bitter, sweetness is brown sugar sweet. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. (030908)

22oz bomber. Pours a deep, dark black - but not opaque. Dark brown and ruby highlights shine through. The head pours thin and light, is short-lived, and leaves no lace. The aroma is dark toast breadiness and mild chocolate with some caramel sweetness. The flavor starts a little roasty like sweetened coffee - bready and toasty with a light roastiness that more closely resembles over-toasted bread than it does coffee. There is a strong caramel sweetness with a light, grainy malt tang. At mid-palate there is a fruity hop bitterness, strong roasted character, and stronger malt sweetness. The finish is mostly full with chocolate and coffee notes, a pleasant hop bitterness, and a balancing sweetness. The mouthfeel is crisply carbonated but sticky and thick in body. Overall - a pleasant black lager. It’s a bit big and roasty for Schwarzbier I think, but tasty nevertheless. Great for cool fall weather.

Deep brown.... Slightly smoky, a hint of licorice, unsweetened chocolate, caramel.... This is the quintessential schwarzbier... I would have a hard time finding a porter i like better than this... This beer is amazing... No alcohol taste, thins as it finishes, incredibly complex...

Light aroma of real licorice; like dried wooden licorice root licorice. Rich, malty flavor with more of that licorice root thing going on.

Pours dark with an amber hue and a medium tan head. Has a mild chocolate aroma and a light malty taste with a hint of bitterness. A little bland but not too bad.
