Pours a black-brown from a bottle with a coffee ice cream colored head, quickly dissipating. Aroma is of chocolate, flavor is primarily cola, some chocolate, slightly smoky but really not that much. A little too effervescent and acidic. Good beer.

22 oz. bottle at Julio’s Liquor Brewfest. Pitch black in the sample glass, lasting full head. Aroma is dark chocolate, bitter coffee grounds, and yes, I get smoked malt.
The flavor is mostly a exactly as the aroma leads me to believe. The smoked malt element is subtle but I really am not a fan of smoked malt at all. It’s not over-bearing but I could not drink more then 5 or 6 oz of this. The body is full with a smooth creamy mouthfeel. For somebody who enjoy smoky stouts this would be something interesting to try.

Pours black into a tulip. Mocha head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Dark chocolate and smoky molasses aromas. Medium bodied with hot chocolate, smoked marshmallow and oak upfront turning to a very hot alcohol finish.

Draught at Deep Ellum, 8/3/15.
Wow, if the guy that gave it a 2.9 thinks this is smokey, I ’d hate to see his reaction to Schlenkerla....I get very little smoke in the nose, just a bare hint of dry campfire/light ash. Mostly you’ve got milk chocolate-covered coffee beans, vanilla and light prunes/tobacco. It’s malty, sure, but not obnoxiously so and at this abv, the alcohol is quite well-concealed. Fruitiness is pretty minimal too, surprisingly. Would expect more esters and candy-like flavors at this level.
Malt begins soft, creamy and full of milk chocolate and vanilla-cream flavors. It pretty quickly meets some light alcohol and dry woodsmoke, gaining a little bit of salinity and drying out nicely. Moderate roastiness, tobacco and prunes linger on the finish, with light coffee notes and more of the ashiness. Thick body, which dosent seem too bothered by the alcohol (usually alcohol creates some thinning) and while, overall, it’s on the sweet side, it’s pretty near best-case-scenario for 12%. Carbonation is low, but appropriate and no flaws are noted.
Jet black body is of undetermined clarity with a tan head that quickly recedes to a ring.
