0,5l bottle from supermarket (Prisma). Nose a bit malty, roasted. Head disappears fast, dark liquid remains, low carbonation. Taste is caramel, toast, not very strong. Mouthfeel is pretty dry, does not linger around for long. Hops overall pretty weak. Would drink again, especially given its reasonable price. Not very complex beer, good for quenching thirst.

Single brown bottle from Marché Omni. Pours a dark colour with red highlights. Big frothy light beige head that last quite long, with decent lacing. Fruity aromas of malts, with hints of nuts, roasted malts and burnt cereals. Medium-light bodied with an oily and wet mouthfeel. The taste is a little milder than the nose. Roasted cereal malts and watered-down coffee. Easy-drinking schwarbier.

Bouteille 330ml. De couleur brune très foncée et quasi-opaque. Nez de malt rôti, léger de pain pumpernickel et de caramel butterscotch avec des notes de chocolat, de café et de houblon floral. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une légèrement crémeuse. Léger goût de chocolat accompagné d’un goût de grains rôtis et légèrement sucrés lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un moyen goût de pain grillé avec quelques traces de caramel puis en finale l’on retrouve des notes de café, de houblon floral ainsi que quelques traces métalliques. Post-goût moyen, légèrement amer de rôti avec de faibles traces métalliques et de noix grillées.

Aroma: Slight roasting accents with presence of smoke notes. Not sticking out much. Appearance: Black, opaque, with average pale brown head. No lacing Taste: Nice smoke accents with roasted coffee notes. We can also find dark chocolate. Light body, watery texture. Acceptable dark beer but not out of common. Notes of chocolate and coffee are interesting.

12oz bottle. Unfiltered looking brown-black. Steady beige head. Clean, mellow brown chocolate aroma. A pretty respectable Schwarzbier. Gentle on the palate, that slightly lower than normal ABV makes it quite mellow. Smooth sweet caramel, brown chocolate, brownie. Some delicate hops. Quite enjoyable for the style.

Bottle from Half Time. Pours very dark brown with a slight tan head. Aroma is a bit nutty with lots of dark roast malt. Near med body. Flavor is slightly sweet roast malt with a little oily nut aspect. Makes me think of cola somewhat. Drinks well.
