Pour is a near enough black with a large fluffy tan head. Aroma is a real nice roasted charred malt with some anise and chocolate. Flavor is more charred malt and super dry finish. I also get a bit of campfire smokiness but it is minor. This is definitely a American take on a schwarzbier. A nice roasty malt almost boarding on porter/stout territory.

Tasty schwarzbier, heavy notes of roasted malt underlined by traces of chocolate, caramel, and smoke, with a mild sweetness complemented by slight fruit esters. Finishes clean (almost too much so), rye spiciness, minerals and a teeny tiny floral hop flourishes closing out the fade. Pours a deep dark black with a moderate cream-colored head and decent lacing. Nose gives up rye, dark roasted malt, and a little yeast. Perfect slick, easy-quaffing texture. Keep firing, assholes.

4 oz taster draft as part of a 4 beer flight at the Westbrook Brewing Company in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. The pour is darker brown with a small light tan head. The aroma is soft roast malt and some sweet light toffee. The taste is the roast malt and toffee caramel sweetness, clean and nicely balanced. The palate is medium to light bodied with active carbonation and dry mineral roast finish. Nice Schwarz.

Tap@Fermentoren, Copenhagen - black pour with tiny beige head. Toasted malty aroma and taste, some caramel, cocoa, malty sweet into the finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Dark brown coloured body with a two centimetre tall tan head, with the body showing about 60% opacity - not incredibly dark. Aroma of roasted malt, prunes, earth, cream and a touch of burnt metal. Medium-bodied; Thinnish feeling of roasted malt up front with some oatmeal and specialty grains noticeable, but the burnt flavours persist and ends with a hint of caramel sweetness. Aftertaste shows a bit of prunes alongside the earthy malt notes and ends with grain, oatmeal and some bitter fruit flavours. Overall, a decent beer, if that - much too thin and not enough complexity at all; Definitely below expectations, whatever they happened to be.
