reviewed 6/15/2009 Received in trade from jtrockchalk in the Black Booty Bif, Thanks for the opportunity! Pours a deep dark brown with the faintest of ruby highlights and a huge bubbly off white head that sticks around forever. Smells of lemony citrus, bourbon, vanilla, faint bit of bretty horsehair, and cocoa. Slightly sour on the nose, is that supposed to be there, or did some bugs hitch a ride from barrel to bottle? This would certainly explain the spirited carbonation. Taste is a bit sour with some chocolate, bourbon, and vanilla thrown in. Carbonation is quite high, body is medium but filled with bubbles, mouthfeel is creamy but slick. I enjoyed this one, but I’m not sure its a schwartzbier anymore. Very flavorful, but the carbonation ruins the mouthfeel for me. I’d love to try a fresh bottle if someone wants to send me another.
