Wynkoop B3K Schwarzbier

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.

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.

Pours black with a thin tan head. Notes of black roast, coffee, burnt meat, caramel soy sauce, and light chocolate. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.

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.

On Tap at the Wynkoop Brewery, Denver 07/10/2008 Some smoked aroma. Tiny white head. Black slightly rich and smooth on the palate. Crisp burnt roast malt finish.

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).

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.

On tap at brewery for GABF 08. Dark pour with tan head. Nose of roasted malts, chocolate and smoke. Flavor is the same with a smokey, dry finish.
