bottle - Pours dark brown and has a roast malt aroma with a touch of coffee. The flavor is mainly roast malt. It’s on the sweet side with low hop presence. It’s medium bodied and a little more bland than I like. It’s okay.

The appearance was a dark brown color, half finger white to almost off white foamy and bubbly looking head that once it dies. There is some light somewhat spider webbed lacing.
The smell was a slightly roasty with some malts and coffee.
The taste was roasty and sweet through the coffee and malts; light coffee/chocolate aftertaste; dry watery finish.
On the palate, it sits fairly light on the palate, has a smooth carbonation to it like a good Schwarzbier should.
Overall, it seems like the style was hit square on, but its a Schwarzbier and often super hard to make extremely desirable. I’ll be able to finish off the 6 pack, but stand on the fence if I would buy it again.

Bottle again at a random pub as I wait for prescription fill. Pours weird clear brown not dark enough for schwarz. Nose is faint chocolate. Tastes of chocolate, light coffee, some pine, and flat cola. Way too thin palate. Session able but like coffee flavored water.

This beer is a clear dark brown color with some red around the edges. Thin foamy beige head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Roasted malt and chocolate in the nose. Light body with flavors of toasted malt, coffee and chocolate. The finish is sweet with a chocolate malt aftertaste. Pretty average overall.
