Deep dark brown coloured body with a light muddied glow and a very thick and dense three to four centimetre tall rich light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, oatmeal, caramelised sugars and a little dose of nuts without any real nuts and only a sliver of hops noticeable at the very end. Medium-bodied; Strong robust toasted and roasted malt notes dominate with a lot of toffee and caramelised sugars along with some earthier nuts and some rustic deep grainy notes, all show way before any hop bitterness finds its way out, but some resinous and grassy elements do come out near the end along with a smooth sweetness at the very end. Aftertaste shows some deep chocolate and caramel notes with sugars and oatmeal/malt really dominating the flavour and leaving very little space for the hops, which are strong, no doubt, but can't break free from the strong malt and bitter flavours. Overall, a nice beer throughout with a ton of nice flavours that all work out well, but if the malt was a bit lighter or somehow the hops were stronger, it would show more as a Black IPA (intended), versus the hoppy stout/porter this currently shows as. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 19-May-2020 for US$2,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 07-August-2020. 

Can from weihenweizen, thanks: pours black with beige head. Aroma is mild vanilla and bourbon... some general woodines and chocolate. Taste is pretty mellow for an IS. Slightly boozy, barrel in the taste. Slightly sweet chocolate.

Coriander and some orange citrus. Amber pour with good head and lacing. Florals. Nice wit Bier. Can on the beach.

Refrigerated 12 oz. can poured into a snifter. Black with big light brown head. Aroma is chocolate, medium body, velvety texture, well carbonated, and pretty good lacing. Taste is cocoa, roasted malt, some bourbon, and dry finish.

12 ounce can from Kroger Beckley, WV, 12/21/19. Hazy peach, large fizzy off-white head, good retention. Aroma of strong spice, bubblegum, citrus, wheat. Taste is orange, wheat, coriander. Thin, almost watery. Decent.

Easygoing schwarzbier, with a modest chocolate and roast center surrounded by fruit-tinged lager notes and a subtle mocha finished. Nothing groundbreaking, but enjoyable.
