Roastier, bolder version of our iconic Death & Taxes. Higher ABV, fuller body and exactly what you want when the weather goes autumn.

On tap at Bottlecraft - Little Italy, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma has a nice roasted malt character—more than you expect from a Schwarzbier—with dry, earthy breadiness. Flavour has a deep malt structure, with dry cocoa, medium roast, and crusty, earthy rye bready notes. Great roast and dark cocoa. Excellent.

Draft at the source. Very dark brown color light tan head. Aroma of burnt toast and coffee grounds. Taste is dark roast coffee left on the burner too long, in a good way. Delicious.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated October 15, 2020. Aroma is malt forward with loads of roast and lighter chocolate notes. Light toasted bread, caramel and toffee notes. Light herbal, spicy hop notes and a hint of alcohol. Pours black with a medium large, thick, pillowy, dark tan head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Flavor is somewhat sweet with moderately strong roast notes and lighter chocolate, caramel and toffee notes. Hints of ash and leather. Medium to medium high bitterness and hints of alcohol. Light spicy, herbal hop notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid dark lager. A bit bigger and bolder than the standard dark lager, but it works pretty well. I think I prefer Death & Taxes more than this, but it's still really good.

Black. Thick head. Chocolate nose, nice toasty dark malts. Bigger than DBT, with a bit of alcohol coming out and a lot of dark malt complexity.

Sample at Monk’s Kettle. Flat black color with a medium thin beige head that recedes steadily to a wispy film. Short strings of lacing. Roast malt, coffee and chocolate aroma. Medium body with flavors of charred malt, coffee and mild hops. The finish is roasty with a malty aftertaste. Above average overall.
