On tap at St Augustine's, listed as In The Dark but really probably this recipe. Smells of very soft barley, has good milky brown body with minimal foam. Flavour is bright barley and milk chocolate, some soft white coffee notes. Mouthfeel is crisp and dry but also a little watery, it would benefit from some oiliness. This is very nice, easy to drink.

Draught at the brewery
Dark brown color with small head. Aroma and flavor of roasted malts with a quite evident bready note which is very pleasant; the ashes are not too evident, it has a small amount of fruity esters, it’s lean and very dry; in some places this could go as a roasty Dunkel. Nice.

On tap at Doan's, pours a deep dark mahogany with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out toasted malt, some crusty rye bread and a touch of caramel. Flavour is nicely and lightly sweet, with toasted caramel, moderate roasted malt and bready notes. Doesn't strike me as a shwarzbier really, but it's pretty pleasant for what it is.

Bottle. I like how it says "Ale" on the label. Dark brown colour. Medium, bubbly head. The aroma is fudgey, bit of chocolate. On the palate, the body is decent. Again, a fudgey/chocolatey sort of character. Moderate bitterness. No roast or any of that. The malts don’t bring a ton of developed sugars, which is probably it’s biggest weakness.
