2.0 Nice bottle and I received also some information about this beer from the brewery, very good. Black beer with fine cappuccino head, smell is roasted malts, taste is heavy sweet, very light roasted malts, thin texture, creamy body, short finish, the sweetness is too much for me, (I have 0.5l bottle with best-before 23.01.20)

3.7 Impressively complex and flavourful for such a light beer. While the roast is not bitter, it is definitely one of the sweeter versions of the style. Dresden REWE

2.6 the aroma is caramel and fruity with shades of cake, toffee, milk chocolate, brown bread and dark fruits... the taste is caramel and fruity, very sweet, with notes of milk chocolate, toffee, bisquit, raisin, prunes and brown sugar... sweet and dry aftertaste... sweet, too sweet...

3.7 Aus der Flasche getrunken: Ein süffiges Schwarzbier. Sehr caramellig und süß. Erinnert geschmacklich an das Störtebeker Hanse Porter.

2.4 13-07-18 // taster at Bierbörse Mainz 2018. Black with a beige head. Sweet malty. Too sweet.

2.7 Brązoworubinowe klarowne piwo z niezłą pianą. Aromat trochę nijaki, delikatnie słodowy, nuty syropu, praktycznie brak nut palonych. W smaku słodkie, syropowe, kawa zbożowa z kilkoma łyżkami cukru. Inne niż większość schwarzbier, mało ciała przez to piwo odczuwane jest jako zbyt wodniste. Dla zwolenników słodkości

2.6 L: -pours a clear ruby-brown with a big,frothy,cream-colured head -high carbonation visible S: -chocolate,coffee,spicy,grainy,grassy,raisins,slight plastic T: -Follows the nose + vast amounts of Glucose/Fructose syrup -sickly sweet F: -medium carbonation -light, watery body O: What would be a decent summer Schwarzbier quaffer is absolutely ruined by the addition of Glucose/fructose syrup AFTER fermentation.What remains is a sickly sweet Schwarzbier that i could barely finish.

1.5 Fles 50cl thuis. Zoet. Ruikt niet lekker. Kleffig. Stroperig. (8-2013).-----.

2.8 Bottle. This was among the beers we opened with back in 2005 and it was a pleasure seeing it in a store once again after all these years. Dark brown with a huge beige head, aroma of caramel and cocoa - promises of malty sweetness, which delivers in flavour. Notes of metal though in aroma. A lot of malt beverage in this one but still enough traces of hops and alcohol to make it beer-ish. I like it, but some of it is due to nostalgia.

2.6 50 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Trinkgut Kleve. Clear black with a big off-white head. Mildly roasted malts and caramel in the aroma. Taste is very sweet, really too sweet. Could be a lot better if the sweetness was a bit more subdued.

3.6 Very quickly torn between judging this beer badly, as it tastes almost like a malt beer. Yet after concentrating really hard and the second (and third) taste... I like it. It is almost a new direction. A mild black beer with mild but detailed roast notes and a good malty taste with fine aftertaste notes.

2.0 Czarna czerwien, klarowny rubin pod swiatlo. Piana solidna. W aromacie karmel, syrop, delikatna palonosc, przypalony popcorn. W smaku slodycz slodu, karmelu, syropu, delikatne posmaki szlachetnego chmielu. Wrazenie przeslodzonej kawy zbozowej. Dla fanow slodyczy. Nie jest zle ale za malo bogate i zbyt jednolite.

1.9 Starts black with a nice thick (but quickly disappearing) head. Taste is initially OK but watery. Then a sweetness is overwhelming everything and only a little burnt sugar remains. Why add sugar syrup?

2.4 Bottle. Foggy deep brown colour. Decent beige head. Aroma: dark malts, esters and something that reminded me of beef fat. Light body. Sweet taste. Caramel, toast, metal, esters. Very low bitterness. A failed low ABV Dunkel. No

2.0 0,5l bottle shared. Apperance: . A very dark brown( almost black) body, with a close to white head on top. Aroma: wort, unfermented sugars and red fruit. Taste: Sweet, wort, unfermented sugar and red fruit. Feels not done. (Wonder what could be there if the beer would referemented on the bottle. Thin body, below average carbonation. Not good,feels rushed.

2.1 Bottle, 3.9%. Clear dark brown with small tan head. Aroma is malt, caramel and bread. Flavour is malt, caramel, bread, sweet, little thin and very little bitter.

1.9 A dark (we call it black) beer with syrup. I'm not exactly getting the point, wha there has to ba any additive at all, because there re so many other (and better) Schwarzbier without.

2.0 Ładna czarna barwa. W zapachu palone słody, przypalona skórka od chleba. W smaku bardzo karmelowe, ewidentny brak goryczki, przypalony popcorn, przesłodzona kawa. Minimalna piana. Bardzo wodniste i słodkie. Przypomina piwo Karmi, ale jest bardziej piwne w smaku.

2.0 Bottle @ Floris’ Leaving Party. Pours a very dark brown, almost black beer with a very light white head on top. Aroma of wort, unfermented sugars and red fruits. Flavor is just about the same, very worty, lots of sugars, which is fine when this beer needs a secondary fermentation, but not as finished product. Very light mouthfeel, rather disgusting.

3.0 Sampled from bottle at Floris’s leaving tasting. Clear dark brown with offwhite head. Sweet wort, nuttiness. Moderate sweet and bitter. Medium body, very malty and slick.

2.4 5 3 5 2 9 Bottle shared for Floris’s Leaving Beers at Gekke Geit. Brown with a tan head. Aroma of big malt, gravy, toffee and light smoke. Flavour is heavy sweet. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

2.6 500 ml bottle on the train to Budapest. Black with whiteish head. Aroma and taste are sweet, burnt sugar, syrup, hay, roasted notes with low bitterness.

2.3 Aus der Flasche getrunken (Händlerlieferung). Fast schwarz mit stabiler, heller Schaumkrone. In der Nase leicht malzige Schokonoten. Im Mund dann etwas wässrige Süße.

3.5 Aroma af de mørke malte, i den lette ende af de mørke øl, men rigtig fint humlet oveni

2.4 0,5 l Flasche. Aroma: Leichte Röstmalzaromen, brotig. Erscheinung: Schwarzes Bier, cremefarbener, schwammiger Schaum, schöne Gardine. Geschmack: Erst wie ein Malzbier, sehr süß, dann doch noch etwas Bittere, leichte Würze. Nachgeschmack: Süße hält sich, die minimale Herbe auch. Gesamt: Deutlich zu süß, aber sehr interessant.

2.1 0,5l Flasche. Schwarzes Bier mit flachem Schaum. In der Nase Röstmalz und Haselnuss. Antrunk ist leider unglaublich süss. Dazu Malz. Das Bier ist mir zu wenig herb.

2.1 Schwarzes bier schwacher schaum, Geruch röstmalz Malz und ein Hauch Salami, im Geschmack dann unheimlich süß Waldhonig leichte röstaromen und Kaffee
