Right out of the barrel at Shoreditch. Dark brown, mahogany body with a small bubbly head. Aroma comes in sweet, prunes and raisins and a hint of booze. Taste is more dark fruity flavors, some barrel notes, woody and a nice dose of alcohol warmth.

Draft at Shoreditch brewpub. Medium gold with small white head. Aroma and taste were both pretty subdued, hence the Little moniker. Malty, fruity hoppy, a little bit of each, but overall very light on the palate.

Draft at the brewpub. Light amber body with a small haziness factor. Fruity aroma, peaches, melon. Taste is sweet, more fruit, a little bit tart, a little bit tangy. Slick and oily and full bodied. The whole thing kind of sneaks up on you and finishes great.

Draft at the GI Shoreditch pub. Dark, cola colored pour. Light roast in the aroma, turning a bit sweet in the taste. Some bitterness in the finish, not as much as I would like to see in a schwarzbier.
