Aroma of sour apple, wheat, bing cherry, caramel, anise. flavor of light roasted malt, anise, bing cherry, floral, light apple/melon. Medium carbonation. Aftertaste is short and malty. Pretty interesting, atypical of schwartzbiers that i’ve tried. Adenila (952), Denmark
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Sep 8, 2008 Looks good. Dark brown with a creamy brown head. Aroma has hint of chocolate and toasted bread and has a much sweeter scent to it than the usual german schwarz. Flavor has some soft sweet notes, a little bit brown sugerish again some light roasted malts are there to add some bitterness. Overall im satisfied! dwaggs2 (560), Lee’s Summit, Missouri, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours black with a two finger tan head. Aroma is coffee and chocolate. Taste is much of the same. Malts, coffee, and chocolate. Taste is a bit weak for this beer. This beer seemed to be a little watered down. greenleaf (90), Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Sep 4, 2008 Bottle 12 oz. Pours a deep black with a smaller tan head. Nose is coffe and chocolate as is the taste. However, the taste has no real bitterness to it at all, malt flavours throughout. nbutler11 (769), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 3, 2008 Pours a deep plum color from the bottle with a trim brown/ruby head. Smells faintly of brown sugar and pond water with notes of red grapes, vanilla, and molasses in the flavor. Improves as it warms, yet a bit watery for my taste. TBone (6842), Pori, Finland
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Aug 31, 2008 Bottled, alc. 4.6% (BB 12/2008)
Almost opaque black color, small tan head. Metallic, lightly roasted malty nose. A bit sweet malty, lightly toasted, metallic and grassy hoppy. Boring. WillieV (191), Maryland, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Aug 30, 2008 Bottle: BOM club offering. Poured a good dark brown almost black color. Small off white head. Very little aroma. What is there tastes like a mass market beer with a little bit more color added.. Taste is mild sweet with nothing in the aftertaste. Not really all that.. hogan873 (334), Joliet, Illinois, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 30, 2008 Looks can be deceiving. Nearly black body with hints of red. Not much head to speak of, just some tan foam. The aroma is unique. Sour malt, sweet malt, and something else I can’t quite put my finger on...licorice maybe? Mouthfeel is light and smooth, like a juice with not much carbonation. The flavor is sweet overall. The coffee, caramel, or other malty sweetness is missing, with dried fruit and chocolate taking their place. Very clean finish. An enjoyable beer.
