22 oz. bottle, pours a dark caramel orangey brown with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out dark fruits, especially raisins and plums, with notes of caramel, oak and vanilla. Flavour is similar, with vanilla, oak and dark fruits. Well-balanced and nicely rounded. Good stuff.

Bottle: Deep brown color with a thin beige cap. Aroma is roasted malt, a little smoky, and bits of sweet malt. Taste is smokier than expected, but modest. Lightly sweet, bits of chocolate. Tasty.

On tap at Bitterroot. Pours a clear yellow gold with visible carbonation and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a sweet huckleberry note supported by sweet grains. Flavor has lots of semi-sweet huckleberry that grows and a bit of sweet grain underlying.

On tap at Toronado Seattle. Amber. A little bit dull and a bubbly head. Has some biscuity, caramelly aromas and woody hops. Similar palate, woody, a bit sticky, but nicely balanced. I hardly even miss the hop aromatics.

I ended up having this in a pint glass. Yeah, I know, next time, pilsener glass. However, after smelling and tasting, uh...yeah, no need to fret about glassware.
The appearance was a nice looking black color with a thin white to off white foamy head that dissipated within seconds. Light lacing strung down after the beer started going down.
The smell had a huge roasty coffee bean to light smoke, light breadiness was here and there.
The taste pretty much copied the aroma and lead to a refined smooth sticky sweet light choclatey aftertaste. A semi-dry finish accompanies the aftertaste.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a good sessionable aspect to it. Super smooth stickiness just lathers up my tongue nicely but still doesn’t overdo anything.
Overall, I say this was a nice schwarzbier. I would love to try again in proper glassware.

Draft pour at special brews. Pours a copper color with a patchy head. Sweet caramel malt aroma. Flavor is a little sweet with a boozy finish. A little oaky as well. Tastes even stronger than it is. A little smokey as well late on the palate. Not great, but I liked it.

22 Oz bottle. Pours a clear golden copper with a big foamy head and lace. By the way, I love these bottles that v are a little more than just a bottle. This one, for example, tells a story. Call me lame, but I feel like that adds to the whole beer enjoying experience. Aroma has toasty malts, and subtle bitter hops. Flavor is a lot of cereal hops, pine, and some light citrus. No complaints here. Just a solid IPA in my opinion. I’m okay with being the guy that likes it more than everyone else. Good stuff.
