Draught at the brewery, 11/7/15.
Dark black body is of undetermined clarity. Light tan head atop is perched at cover.
Coffee, light lactic notes, buttercream and just a touch of floral/herbal hops in the nose. No alcohol or flaws.
It’s quite drinkable, rather mindless and has a malty body, though I’d call it a bit too sweet for a schwarzbier, with chocolate, toffee and vanilla being quite prominent. Trails off with a bit too much dry roast lingering in place of what could be a more crisp, refreshing, lager-like finish. Seems like they got a bit carried away with the specialty malts here. Hop rates/varietals are appropriate, however and are quite subdued. Clean, though, which is good.

On tap at Bainbridge Island Brewing. Medium brown, light body, bland, sweet, thin, light chocolate.

On tap at Lucky Envelope, pours a dark mahogany with a tiny off-white head. Aroma brings out toasted bready malts and some light fruitiness. Flavour is quite bland, with dry bready malts. Not much going on here. It's okay, but not much character.

Its an unlager like Schwarz. Light roast and brown malts. Comes off like a clean brown rather than a Scwarz. Low hop, mild carbonation.
