Aug 24, 2009 From a draft pour at the Widmer brewpub in Portland, Oregon, this came a very dark brown with a medium tan head and thick lacing. Nose of roasted malts and chocolate. Very rich and creamy mouthfeel feels like oil on the tongue. The flavor is lightly bitter with lots of chocolate malts and coffee flavors. Bitter finish. Excellent stuff.

Nov 18, 2008 On tap at the brewery. Very dark brown body, close to black with a soft ruby color at the edges of the glass. Smooth beige head. Soft roastiness up front, bitter chocolate with a strong hop finish for the style. On the higher carbonation side, I prefer some of the softer smoother bodied versions, but overall this was still nice.

Oct 6, 2008 On tap at Widmer Gasthaus in Portland, OR--Deep, dark black-brown and roasty with a small beige head. Very thick for a schwartz beer. Very enjoyable. Chocolate and malt notes danced on my tongue and warmed my gut. Very nice.

Jan 16, 2001 Not bad as a schwarzbier, but if they are trying to pass this off as a porter, no way. Not enough complexity.
