6.4/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6.5
Bottle. Dark brown color with a bubbly light-brown head. Roasted malt aroma with dark chocolate and a bit of coffee. Sweet Flavor is roasty, malty, with a bit of chocolate and some caramel. A rather dry finish with roast and notes of hops. Body is a bit too light. Not a great schwarzbier, but decent.

Bottle. Clear golden with a medium, bubbly, quickly-diminishing white head. Aroma is of lemon and lime - smells to me quite similar to Sprite. Very sweet, artificial, lemon and lime flavor with faint hints of malt. Doesn’t taste like beer at all. Light-bodied. Tastes like a soda, and not a good-tasting one. Yuck.

Bottle. Red-amber color with a medium beige head.. Aroma is malty, with some smoke, a bit of caramel, and maybe slight hoppiness. Sweetish malty flavor with some toast, caramel, a bit of metal and a rather dry finish. Quite light-bodied. Pretty weak.

Das Bier startet sehr mild, eigentlich ist nur ein leichter Getreideton zu erkennen. Die Note wird im Mittelteil etwas metallern, sonst ändert sich nichts. Wässriger Nachgeschmack mit malzigem Unterton. Zumindest soll er das wohl sein. Test vom 24.8.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 6,4,6,3,10,4 - 4,65

Bottled. Yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is earth, malts and gops. Very unclean feeling to it. Flavour is very much hayish hops along with barnyard.

Pours dark brown with brick red highlites and a medium tan head. Roasted malts, liquorice, sweet/dark fruit and metallic. Flavor of roasted malts, chocolate, dark fruits, and bittersweet cocoa. Body is a bit on the thin side. Not a bad brew, nothing outstanding, though.
