Finally, I had a chance to drink this beer, the last Uinta brew I have not had. Pours a pure black hue with a large light brown head. The aroma is full of roasted rye bread, some light chocolates and spices. The flavor was quite easygoing and nice; a smooth semi-sweet malt, that is lightly toasted. A touch of banana, cloves and cinnamon. Dominated by a smooth malt, and very smooth. The mouthfeel was great; very full and creamy. Nice.

Tap at Old Boise Brewers Fest: Black, nice head and lacing. Nose of toasted sesame seeds and light roasty bread. Some flavor of dough and toast. Finishes with a light mocha note. Dry finish. Nice.<br />Earlier Rating: 6/6/2004 Total Score: 3.5<br />NABA ’04: Dark color, tan head, some lacing. The aroma is flat save for some roast & smoke. Char even. Flavor is lagery with roast, almost like humidity and more char, finishes lagery. eh.

Draft at the Telluride Blues and Brews Festival. Big java aroma on this aptly named black beer. Airy tan head with sweet coffee flavors. Very good schwarz.

Dark brown with an off white head and light lacing. Roasted malts, nutty or earthy with chocolate. Much the same in the flavor. Nice beer.

<b>2004 NABA Festival:</b> Dark brown with thin tan head. Chocolate and roast was present.
