Not a huge fan of this one. i have yet to find a schwarzbier that i really like and this certainly wasnt it. tried the krom pils after and for once i preferred the lighter coloured beer. on tap at a festival in kleinburg, ON.

bottle from Tesco Honiton. Deep brown, almost black colour, enormous beige head - the foam is coming out of the bottle after opening. Aroma: very fruity, reminds me of a top-fermented Belgian dark beer. Flavours of roasetd malts anc dark chocolate, also lots of flavours of old, rotten fruit, with a shy sourness - signs of infection. Highly carbonated, is it really infected? How can a beer from such a huge brewery be infected, it must be dead already when bottled!? Best before 05/2012 - bottled 05/2011, so its only about 14 weeks old! What I can taste besides the fruit/old fruit, is ok, in fact quite nice, but signs of infection are everywhere, unfortunately.

Bottle from Tesco. Dark brown / black beer, large frothy off-white head. Aroma not strong....but some roasted malt and grass hop.....Taste of toasted malt, dark bread, light bitter grass hop, bit of cereal....a light finish ,short, with a bit of sweet dark malt and light bitter hop. Lively carbonation. Rather thin, bit watery texture.
Not a bad dark lager. Drinkable, but uncomplicated in flavour, with not much aroma, but what was there was reasonably good...I did quite like this for a light beer.

Bottled, from GuangZhou, GuangDong, China. Dark brown, rich firm head. Caramelly nose. Sweet with fairly light body and rounded somewhat sticky mouthfeel, Toffee and paper, slight coffee. Low hop rate and almost non-existant bitterness. Simple.

Bottled. A red-brown beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel as well as lighter notes of roasted malt and berries. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and roasted malt, leading to a dry bitter finish. The body is a bit thin.
