Oct 11, 2009 On tap at Wynkoop. Wispy head. Brownish black color. Nice chocolatey aroma. Very nice. Not dry or sweet. Very good. Almost some oaky buttery smell, maybe from melanodin malt or long boil. Very nice.

Oct 10, 2009 tap at the brewpub - Pours dark amber with an off-white head. Smells of roasted malt with nothing else really standing out. It tastes of roasted malt with mild hops and a touch of coffee. This medium bodied brew has a good, full flavor and finishes with lingering roastiness. Nice brew.

Sep 28, 2009 Shaker pint draft at the Cherry Cricket in Denver, Colorado. Pour is black with a splash of cola brown. No head to speak of. Aroma is slight roastiness, some grass, not a whole lot else. Taste is the roast malt up front, followed by some grassy sweetness. The finish lingers with more roast, then some dirty yeastiness. Palate features good carbonation making it quite drinkable and nice with a burger. Nice enough.

Jun 9, 2009 Dusty, dry, and not especially flavorful. Tingly on the palate in a negative way. Dark color. Compared to the other beers I had, this was the least enjoyable. On tap at brewpub. The award they got from GABF is interestingly at odds with the consensus of raters who put this in a low percentage in the style (32.4% at present).

Mar 17, 2009 A deep dark schwarzebier with reddish hues and a thick resilient moka head. A non-descript malt aroma. In mouth, a light fluffy schwarzebier. Enough said. On tap at brewpub, 24 Jan. 2009.
