Objectively speaking:
A rather sweet, almost floury black lager that does not have much roast character.
I like:
Gentle chocolate nuances. Solid, but redundant fruity depth, though sweet.
I dislike:
Lacking the refinement of their usual lagers. Quite sweet (caramel, brown sugar, toffee) where I’d like more roast. Not very tight body, lacking a bit in carbonation.

May 17, 2008 Draft at Flatbread, Minimal head with a deep brown color. malty and appropriately carbonated. A bit on the thin side,but paired well with the blue cheese laden salad.

May 16, 2008 Black with excellent head. Enjoyed at the brewpub. SLightly malty aroma. Taste ius maty, on the chocolate malty side, a bit too astringent. Yet not bad effort.

Jul 21, 2007 Draught pint at the brewpub, July 3 2007. Dark, dark brown with a faint ring of head, translucent/dirty texture....dark malts forward in the aroma, light grapiness, a bit worty....the body is really grapy, worty, unfermented and watery; this really needed more lagering time, no question, or there’s something really wrong....dry and rather sour finish....with some warmth, a bit of chocolaty roast shows up and there’s a bit of improvement, but on the whole this is a failure, at least at the moment. A couple more weeks and who knows? But it wasn’t ready when I tried it.
