12oz bottle. Opaque brown-black body. Steady beige head. Pretty solid example of the style...at least a US version. Pleasant specialty malt tones...caramel, chocolate. Medium to full bodied, very drinkable. Sweet, easy going, well done.

Bottle shared at King William IV - London. Pours black-brown with a foamy off-white head. Seems a bit infected. Lightly roasty on the nose. Lightly sweet, tangy, with nips of cocoa and toffee. Light bodied with average to lively carbonation. Sweet and somewhat tangy on the finish, some berries, cocoa. So so.

12 ounce bottle into lager glass, bottled on 2/2/2015. Pours slightly hazy very dark brown color with a 1 finger dense tan head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, toast, dark bread, light smoke/char, herbal, and roast/smoke earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good complexity of dark/roasted malt and earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, toast, dark bread, light smoke/char, herbal, and roast/smoke earthiness. Fair amount of herbal hop and roast bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, toast, dark bread, light smoke/char, and roasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roasted malt and earthy hop flavors; with a great roasted bitterness/sweetness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Very clean in lager flavors with zero yeast notes present. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, fairly creamy, and slightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming present after the finish. Overall this is an excellent schwarzbier style. All around great robustness, complexity, and balance of dark/roasted malt and earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Bottle thanks to Brian. Pours a cloudy brown with no head. The aroma is roast and caramel. Thin mouth with strong caramel and light roast. Good.

Botella de 33 cl en el lúpulo en julio de 2012. color oscuro casi negro. Cuerpo medio fácil de beber y con toques maltosos y cereales ligeramente tostados. Buena, se puede repetir.

Ins Glas ergießt sich ein sehr dunkelbraunes Bier mit beiger Schaumkrone. Geruch sehr röstmalzig, Schokolade. Geschmack röstmalzig, trocken schokoladig, Kaffee, leicht bitter, minimal süßer Abgang.

Bottle split in the beer garden at King William IV on the Rainbow IPA day, sourced from a bin end sale at the Cask, 21/09/13. Light black with a good sized off white head. Nose is dark malts, toffee, dark fruit notes. Taste follows, light cocoa, a touch lactic. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dry finish. Mediocre.

03.10.2013, 0,35l bottle @ home:
Big brown-ish longlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet and rich, dark malts, dark sugar, licorice, dark fruits, burnt caramel, grass. Taste is kind of sour-ish dry, dark malts, grass, sour coffee, sour unripe berries, burnt caramel and ashtray. Medium bitterness, veru thin sour-ish mouthfeel. Bad bottle??
