Amiable brown-bodied schwarzbier in pudgy brown bottle brings dewy rye-breaded molasses-smoked malting to dry black-purple grape souring, moldy fig-date-raisin astringency, reedy hop-charred cola-pecan-macadamia nuttiness and sneaky black cherry snips. Latent bourbon hints gain foothold above brown-sugared chocolate roast and earthen peat bottom.

Creamy molasses-sugared coffee ice cream opening fades badly to abrasive nutty sourness. Resinous hop-oiled nut-roasted astringency picks up oats-toasted cocoa chalking, mild chocolate-seeded mellowing, and phenol dried fruiting. Ho-hum.

Unconventional winter lager better classified as first rate schwarzbier since expectant seasonal spicing lacks penetration. Barley-roasted cocoa-powdered mocha indulgence counters ashy walnut bittering and dry hop-charred astringency to earthen peat bottom. Stove-burnt coffee, chocolate seed, smoked molasses, and fig-date illusions politely sour smooth medium-bodied contrariety.

Smooth jet black schwarzbier with egg-shelled cherry wood head recalls finer Baltic porters. Brown-sugared cocoa-dried Baker’s chocolate frontage receives subtle peat-smoked peanut-shelled walnut, cola nut, and Brazil nut bittering to offset sweet toffee, caramel, and cookie dough sweetness. Oily coffee souring, mild espresso dirge, and peat-smoked mineral-grained soy nuance add depth to a creamier, more assertive black lager than usual ill-defined rivals.

Murky cocoa-soured astringency, lousy compost waft, and nasty vegetal spell ruin dried prune-fig souring as well as Muscat wine appeal. Mired in nebulous day-old black bread funk, this warbled German-styled brew seems unbalanced, spreading inconclusive black grape, fennel, and pumpernickel illusions across rotted bock-like variance to phenol finish.

Introduced at 2003 Oregon Brewers fest, unfiltered cola-hazed Schwarzbier-styled German black beer opens with spruced hop nose, pine malt musk and nutty dark chocolate-coffee variance. Smoked wood bitterness stays on tongue forever. Firm finish adds brusque black licorice swirl and ashy residual to the mocha mix.

Coarse brown-hued tan-headed German-styled ‘black beer’ mutates from sourly dried fig-prune frontage to chocolate-coffee-influenced finish, as dark fruited midst and laid-back mocha remnant beckon. Roasted barley-hop undercurrent sweetens the deal.

Sweet-scented creamy-headed tawny Bavarian knockoff brings spiced-hop bittering to acrid lemon zest. Dirty grain finish disintegrates caramel malt underling and distant maple illusion. Decent choice for novices ready to appreciate gentle German-styled brew, but too inefficient for the rest.

Rich malt-grained coffee roast inundates minimal-headed mahogany porter. Relaxing burgundy luster dabs coffee bean finish. Magically, there’s plenty of mocha creaminess sans expectant hop bitterness.

Rich Brazilian features dark mocha essence, chewy caramel malt center, and bittersweet dried fruit midst for pleasant light porter vigor. Bitter chocolate resin infiltrates barley-oats-toasted floral bouquet in the distance.

Dry roasted coffee sourness entangles chocolate milkshake sweetness contrasting mildly bitter cocoa-powdered prune-fig conflux and faded pecan-chestnut roast of interesting mahogany-hued Canadian Schwarzbier. Moderate caramel creaminess tantalizes smoked hickory recess and cola nut egress.

Rosy amber-hued dunkel (dark) lager matches dry rye frontage and toasted barley slot to punctual date-raisin conflux. Simmering cocoa-caramel creaminess usurps orange-cherry-quince sway clanging sweet honey nut contour.
