UPDATED: MAR 27, 2019 About average for the style. Texture and flavor not quite the traditional European feel. Sort of like a Yuengling Black & Tan. Drinkable but forgettable. One of the better ones that I tried from this brewer though.

Sweet roasted malt on the nose. Some toffee and licorice as well. Ebony color with a tan head with some staying power. Rich sweet malt up front. Notes of smoky roasted malt. Very reminiscent of a porter. Bitterness is light and barely cuts out sweetness. Finish is a long echo of the sweet malt, with some notes of dark chocolate. Not bad.

appearance: seemed black; half a finger of light beige foam, shrinking to a creamy collar and cap. aroma: chocolate, cocoa powder, burnt toast, and coffee. taste: chocolate, toast, caramel and cereal, with a nice bit of earthy, lightly bitter hops. finish: really smooth, a little roasty, but with just enough hops and carb to keep things feeling light. notes: Lot of body to this schwarzbier. Roasty and smooth, but still somehow felt light enough to be almost refreshing. One of the best schwarzbiers I’ve had. Can from Total Wine in McLean, Virginia.

355ml can. This is an odd schwartzbier. Its watery but malty. Cocoa notes, seems off-style.

Served in pilsner glass at Schlafly Bottleworks. Mahogany with thin rim of brown foam, full bodied and creamy. Caramel malt flavor, very nice malt finish.

Mahogany color out of the can with a fluffy off white head. Burnt sugar and roasted grain nose. Caramel sweetness with some fruit, burnt sugar, and wet toast in the finish.

Pours charcoal black with limited head. Aroma with slight hoppy bitterness, chocolate and caramel. Thickly caramel on the palate with a sharp hoppy bite. Smoothly effervescent with medium body. Sharp finish, but pleasant in its crispness. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
