Dark with a beige head. Earth, bitter, chocolate, caramel, and a touch of molasses. Medium to full body. Finish is sweet with bitterness. Solid.

0.44l can. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, caramel and ash.Pours pitch black color with thick creamy tan-like head. Taste starts with mild to medium sweet roasted malt and bitter chocolate, following is mild fruity, ashy, smoky and earthy, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is mild bitter. Light body, creamy texture and flat carbonation in palate. No alco, but still lots of fun…

330ml bottle. Pours a slightly transparent black with a lasting fine tan head. Aroma is mild dark malts. Beer is medium to heavy in body, sweet & bitter with good length. I don't really enjoy the mix of lots of hop bitterness along with the sweetness but if this is you then it will be great.

Bottle. Loved this beer. Nice reddish-brown color. Not much head. Smells of malt, slightly sweet. Flavor, good balance, leaning a bit to the malt side. Have to have another.

Bottle. Not as good as I thought it would be. Tastes more like a average lager than a schwarzbier. Started off good. Nice dark color, nice head. Aroma, smells kind of like metal. Taste, just not that great.

Bottle. Had this one on Grand Turk. Love it! Wonderful balance. Great dark amber brown. Aroma of nutty, toasted molasses. Taste was a toasted malt with a great balance of hops. Good stuff.

Can. Frothy, creamy, foamy beer. This was impressive. That rest was not. Aroma was kind of weak, with hints of roasted grains. Same for the taste. Overall, just an average beer.
