Bottle: Dark, amber-gold with a dark beige head. Huge fruity aroma....passion fruit, orange, pineapple. Taste is fairly bitter....orange-grapefruit-peel. Very strong body.....a good one.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a murky dark brown color with a cap of a little white dieing head that fell off at a mild pace. No lace.
The aroma had some caramel/toffee malts up front playing with a little bit of milk chocolate. Slight vanilla.
The flavor was definitely sweet all of the way through. Soft sweet aftertaste of the chocolate and caramel. Finish was semi-sticky smooth.
The palate was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV seemed about right.
Overall, decent for what it is, but I somewhat missed the Fuggles hop portion.

The appearance was a soft dark brown close to black color with a fingers worth of white to off white foamy head that slid off at a moderate pace. Sliding lace.
The aroma had some milk chocolate, grains/cereals, some earthiness, and a touch of woodiness.
The flavor was semi-sweet with a sturdy embracing bitterness from the wood flowing in for the blend. Aftertaste was semi-bitter with the sweetness from the chocolate. Not much of a finish.
The palate was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine.
Overall, seemed more like one of those Euro dark lagers than a real schwarzbier, still, its nothing bad, just dont expect to get an authentic German schwarzbier.
