Undated can from the brewery, as pictured, drunk 10/28/25.
Wow this smells real soft and round and inviting. Good base ndkt mixing with dark malt producing dark chocolate and caramel. Clean and malty with no toast and light roast.
Bigger dark malt presence in the flavor with dark chocolate and bitter licorice leading through to the finish. The base malt nearly balances it, with an almost syrupy, chewy texture that is somehow not too sweet. I suppose on account of the black malt and hop, which adds dried herbs and pepper.

On tap at Vermont Nanofest 2018, pours a dark cola brown with some fluffy white head. Nose has brown sugar, malt cola, some vanilla. Flavor has sweet notes of cola and rootbeer, caramel, some vanilla, marzipan. Full but smooth. Cream soda too. 7 3 7 3 13

Growler share with Doug.
We both poured into pilsener glasses.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a finger’s worth of eggshell white foamy head that died off at a decent pace. Some messy lace.
The aroma had a soft quaint sweet nuttiness up front with some dark roasted malts and then a touch of milk chocolate. German yeast? Hmmmm....it might be there, but doesn’t show much strength.
The flavor pretty much copies the aroma semi-sweetly with a soft roastiness seemingly only to balance. Ashy to roasty to semi-bitter sort of aftertaste and moves into the finish in the same sort of way.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionable sort of feel along my tongue. ABV felt appropriate. Moderate balance of the \"grinding\" to the \"smoothness\" along my tongue.
Overall, it’s a decent beer as is, but as far as a true German schwarzbier, I think more German yeastiness needs to show more involvement.
