Oct 2, 2006 Has a porterish roas coffe aroma with mild stewed raisin notes. red tinted black body with a pinky thin tan head. Light roasty flavor int he fore. Narrow flavor range and not much real taste or feel...a watery weak porter really.

Oct 2, 2006 On tap at the Wynkoop Brewery 9/27/06. Opaque in color, head left quickly. Aroma is clean, but dominated by dark malts--almost like a dry stout. Flavor--definite roastiness with some residual sweetness. Finishes dry and light. Overall, originally I tanked this beer, but after reading the BJCP guidelines for a schwarz again, it’s pretty close. I thought it was a little sweet for a schwarz, but evidently a little residual sweetness is acceptable.

Sep 24, 2006 Draft 6 oz’er at the brewpub: Side by side with the stout, the only visual difference is the white head on this versus the stout’s tan head ... both dark black brews. This delivered a nice tight licorice-laced flavor with just a hint of chocolate. Good warmer.

Jul 21, 2006 Roasty chocolate and licorice aromas, and just a bit of sweetness that transcends into the flavor. Some caramel and dark maltiness, that tastes very chocolately and very fresh. Finishes up with some almond nuttiness in the finish.
