Bottle sample at a tasting at Tom L's place. Thanks rayaron. Deep amber-brown. Chocolate, caramel, sweet, light vegetal note, bitterish finish.

330 ml bottle. Dark orange body with a dense, short lasting beige head. Aroma is a bit like burned cocoa and mold. Flavor is bitter cocoa, bitter chocolate and traces of roasted malt. Thin body make this totally unbalanced, but on the positive side – the rather unpleasant finish is short. Totally weird, man!

Bottle. The best first; it pours clear, deep ruby, with a small, beige head. The aroma on the other hand isn’t that nice. It is unpleasant, with butterscotch, burnt notes and cocoa, with some sweetness coming after a while. Butterscotch, cocoa, chocolate and roasted malt in the flavor. Too thin body and a finish with cocoa and chocolate. Didn’t suit me. (070216)

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a clear copper colour with a small, off-white head. Light aroma of sweet milk chocolate. Medium-bodied with sweetish hints of caramel, milk chocolate and coconut. Sort of a Bounty beer? Somewhat artificial and not overly pleasant. 181006

Very interesting. I found it at an organic store in Pireus (Greece). It said beer Saveur Chocolat (beer with chocolate flavor) and decided to try it. I wouldn’t describe it as a schwarzbier but better as a chocolate stout. The aroma is chocolate period. Very intense and nice aroma. The flavor is sweet but not oversweet, chocolate taste (rather the mexican type of chocolate and not that sweet). Pretty well balanced much better than I expected. Good beer for various occasions. Would buy again.

Bottle. Piney ashtray aroma. Sweetish flavour with some hints of oxidization. Tastes old somehow.

A hazy amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of milkchocolate - and so is the flavor.
