Taster at 2 Tread taproom. Dark brown, some light coming through, thick fluffy head. Light roasty aroma. Taste too features the roast grains, but seems light. In the ballpark, but could use a boost.

Tap. Pours clear reddish black, medium creamy beige head, good lacing. Aroma is roasty, hints of bakers chocolate, ash, a hint of wood, roasted malt, coffee grounds. Flavors is light sweet, light bitter. Light plus body. Enjoyable

Shared bottle in Sacramento, as Ol’ Republic Bläk Bavarian-style Black Lager. Very dark brown colour, beige head. Mild and dryish roasty aroma. Medium dry and roasty flavour, easy drinking. This is a decent rendition of the classical East German Schwarzbier style (which originates in Thüringen and Sachsen, not in Bavaria as the brewers at Ol’ Republic seem to think).

Tap at 2014 West Coast Beer Fest. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Sells like a Schwarzbier. Med body. Flavor is a bit chocolate. Not too bitter. Not quite dry. Fits the Schwarzbier style.
