500 mL bottle from Once Upon a Vine in Richmond, VA. Pours a cola brown color, with well, cola-like head. Vigorous carbonation. This really looks exactly like Coca-Cola in a glass, just a shade darker. Slightly grainy roasted malt aroma. Roasted malt taste with dark fruit and coffee notes. Very bubbly.

[500ml bottle from Tesco’s, Reading] Head quickly dissipates. Tastes like a watered-down Guinness. Decent enough example of a Schwarzbier, but as with most of the genre you end up thinking "this is weak and watery - why aren’t I drinking stout?" - despite the fact that it’s stronger than a lot of stouts!

750ml bottle. Honey sweet to the point of being cloying. Golden body with big-bubbled, white head that diminishes. The aroma presents honeycomb, alcohol, spice and caramel. The flavor is heavily sweet and lightly bitter, especially in the finish. Tastes of honey, caramel and some biscuit/grass lager/pilsner notes underneath. Medium body with slightly sticky texture. Somewhat hot alcohol finish. Way too sweet.
