A very dark yet surprisingly light-bodied Lager beer, crisp and refreshing with no heaviness.

Shaker pour at Tornado. Color is black as heck. Aroma is very roasted with light hops peaking through out of a very clean profile. Flavor is the same, very easy to drink with lots of character but not sweet. Not much more to say, its just good.

Draft @ Piaci Pub & Pizza, Fort Bragg, CA. Pours a black color with a small longlasting off-white head. Has a roasted malty aroma with hints of chocolate and licorice. Roasted malty bitter chocolate and hoppy flavor with some hints of licorice. Has a roasted malty hoppy finish ith some hints of smoke in the aftertaste. A nice schwarzbier.

On Tap. Drank along side the new Stone 12. Pours with a black body covered by a small, light brown head. Great Lcing. Coffee grounds and a bit of fruit in the aroma. A lot of coffee grounds in the taste along with a burnt maltiness. A pretty nice, light body, but a bit on the fizzy side of things.

On tap at the Magnolia Pub. Pours jet black with thin mocha head. The aroma is big with toffee, burnt malts and dark roasted coffee beans. The taste is inviting rich malt complexity. A solid burnt charred maltiness hits first with lighter roasted malts, dark roasted coffee beans, a hint of toffee and some licorice. At the finish a mild astringency enters to linger with the burnt malts and coffee notes. It smells more like toffee than it tastes.

(On tap - Toronado) Completely opaque black with a dense and creamy, beige head leaving laces. Lightly burned, licorice-like aroma. Medium body with roasted - lightly burned - malt, again with some licorice. Very bitter finish. Excellent. 250307

Draught at Toronado, San Francisco. Opaque black, no head. Sweetish and very roasty with clean rounded mouthfeel. Dominated by hop flavours - grapefruit and licorice. The malt character is it’s weak side - it’s very clean and straightforward, leaving it far behind the top examples of the style.
