Big coarse beige head. Dark red barely translucent body. Dry, thin, burnt, vaguely malty aroma with faint fruit notes and touches of rubber. Taste is initially sooty, giving way to burnt chocolate with faint fruit notes. Dry all the way; aftertaste just kind of fades out. It’s a very typical German schwarzbier, but I find them to be too dry and boring to get very excited over. (0.5l bottle.)

Bottle (traded with EithCubes, thank You!) : Deep ruby amber coloured, smaller off-white head, quickly diminishing to a foamy layer; sweet-fruity (black berries), dark toasted-malty aroma, a bit yeasty/hoppy; sweetish-bitter flavour, medium bodied; sweetish, slightly alcoholic and fruity finish, balanced by some bitterness in the aftertaste. Not bad, but a bit too much on the sweet side...........

High, dirty off-white head, fluffy, over very dark brown beer. Very weird nose, as sweet bread drenched in stock or broth. Also something honeyish, or nectar-laden spring blossoms. Rather burnt, toasted initial taste, followed by some underlying sweetness, including coloured malts. The palate initially lacks everything, empty, but eventually picks up a bitterish aftertaste that is both a bit hoppy and a bit toasted/burnt. Quite light body. A rather average Schwarzbier, promising more than delivering.

(bottle, traded with EithCubes) Clear, dark reddish-brown colour with a bubbling foamy off-white medium head. Quite complex aroma: slightly dusty and sweet toastmalty nose with a touch of toffee and dense fruity notes of dark berries. Medium sweet flavour, toastmalty taste with toffee and fruity undertones; sweet malty, slightly hoppy finish with a well-integratic warming alcoholic touch. A solid and decent Bock.

Malzig-süßlich im Antrunk, im Mitelteil eher dezent hopfig-herb. Der Nachgeschmack ist zwar noch leicht malzig, könnte jedoch gerne um einiges kräftiger sein. Wer ein mildes Schwarzbier möchte, ist hier richtig, ich bevorzuge etwas kräftigere Kameraden. Test vom 4.4.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,10,10,6,13,10 - 9,35

500 ml bottle, bought in Bier Spezi Hamburg. Very dark brown colour, nearly black. Large and lingering greyish tan head, nice lacing. Pleasant moderately roasty aroma, also notes of dark fruits, chocolate, Schwarzbrot and coffee. Very nice flavour of roasted malts perfectly balanced with the hops, not too sweet, notes of coffee. Moderate roasty aftertaste which lasts "forever". Very good Schwarzbier - I’m shocked this one isn’t rated higher!

Bottled. Yellow colour, almost no head. Strong hoppy nose. Strong maltish hoppy flavour. Misses something though, as it feels very watery and empty.
