text: 12oz bottle into pint glass. Darker than other Schwarzbiers I have tried, this one is almost completely opaque with a light brown head. The frothy top settles to a frothy cap. Thick sticky lacing along the glass. Very light aromas, somewhat weak. Light roasty malt and a little bit of molasses. Suprising light in flavor as well. The deep dark and grainy malts are there, but the volume is turned down. Medium bodied with good carbonation. The finish has a light creaminess and a hint of grain. I was surprised to find out how mild the flavor is in this beer. It has no date label, so it's hard to tell how long it's been around. It's possible a little oxidation took place, given that it has a twist-top cap (not as strong of a seal as a regular cap). It has no bad flavors to it, so I can't give it a bad score. Try it for yourself.
